The men's 68 kg competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics was held on 9 August, at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre.

Competition format

The main bracket consisted of a single elimination tournament, culminating in the gold medal match. Two bronze medals were awarded at the Taekwondo competitions. A repechage was used to determine the bronze medal winners. Every competitor who lost to one of the two finalists competes in the repechage, another single-elimination competition. Each semifinal loser faced the last remaining repechage competitor from the opposite half of the bracket in a bronze medal match.{{cite web |url=http://www.london2012.com/taekwondo/event/men-less-than-58kg/competition-format/index.html |title=Men's Taekwondo competition format |work=2012 Summer Olympics official website |accessdate=2 May 2012 |archive-date=22 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120722140750/http://www.london2012.com/taekwondo/event/men-less-than-58kg/competition-format/index.html |url-status=dead }}
