Powerlifting at the 2008 Summer Paralympics was held in the Beihang University Gymnasium from September 9 to September 16. Any athlete who met a minimum level of disability (as determined by the IPC Powerlifting Classification Committee) could take part in these events.

There were twenty powerlifting events, corresponding to ten weight classes each for men and women.

There were 200 athletes (120 male, 80 female) taking part in this sport.

This ranking sorts countries by the number of gold medals earned by their powerlifters (in this context a country is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically.
