The Women's +75 kg weightlifting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, took place at ExCeL London.
Total score was the sum of the lifter's best result in each of the snatch and the clean and jerk, with three lifts allowed for each lift. In case of a tie, the lighter lifter won; if still tied, the lifter who took the fewest attempts to achieve the total score won. Lifters without a valid snatch score did not perform the clean and jerk.
Russia's Tatiana Kashirina set a world record in snatch with a lift of 151 kilogrammes. China's Zhou Lulu set a world record at total weightage with 333 kilogrammes, as well as an Olympic record in clean and jerk with a lift of 187 kilogrammes. Ukraine's Svitlana Cherniavska was on the start list but did not compete.
