The men's 75 kg weightlifting competitions at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London took place on 10 August at the Empress Hall of the Earls Court Exhibition Centre.Official Report, p. 476. It was the sixth time the middleweight class competition was held, all at 75 kg.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1948/WLT/mens-middleweight.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417234056/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1948/WLT/mens-middleweight.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Weightlifting at the 1948 London Summer Games: Men's Middleweight |work=Sports Reference |accessdate=23 December 2019}}

Each weightlifter had three attempts at each of the three lifts. The best score for each lift was summed to give a total. The weightlifter could increase the weight between attempts (minimum of 5 kg between first and second attempts, 2.5 kg between second and third attempts) but could not decrease weight. If two or more weightlifters finished with the same total, the competitors' body weights were used as the tie-breaker (lighter athlete wins).Official Report, p. 481.
