I Campionati mondiali di sollevamento pesi 1968, 42ª edizione della manifestazione, si svolsero a Città del Messico, al Teatro de los Insurgentes, dal 13 al 19 ottobre 1968. Il torneo faceva parte dei Giochi della XIX Olimpiade e, per la seconda volta, erano validi anche per il titolo mondiale.
I titoli mondiali furono assegnati soltanto nel totale dell'esercizio. Nelle tre singole specialità vennero stilate le classifiche ma le medaglie non furono assegnate. Fu il primo campionato mondiale (e gara olimpica) dove si sperimentò il ciclo di test antidoping effettuato sulle sostanze vietate, tra le quali vi erano anfetamine ed eroina.
