The men's doubles tennis tournament at the 2012 Olympic Games in London was held from 28 July to 5 August on the grass courts of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon.

Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka were the defending champions, having won gold in Beijing in 2008, but they were eliminated in the second round by Israelis Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram.

The American duo of Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan won the gold in this tournament, with a straight-set victory over France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Michaël Llodra. This completed a career golden slam for the Bryan brothers, making them the second men's doubles team to do so. Their victory also marked the first (and only) time both Olympic tennis doubles titles were claimed by siblings; fellow Americans Venus and Serena Williams won the female doubles competition.
