The men's 67 kg weightlifting event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games took place at the National Exhibition Centre on 31 July 2022. An initial list of eleven athletes were expected to compete, though Talha Talib of Pakistan was removed after he was suspended due to an anti-doping violation. At the event, nine athletes competed with Craig Carfay of Scotland not competing.

Jeremy Lalrinnunga of India won the event with a Games record of 300 kilograms. He had also set a Games record in the snatch with a weight of 140 kilograms. Vaipava Ioane of Samoa was the silver medalist with a total of 293 kilograms, setting a Games record in the clean and jerk with a weight of 166 kilograms. Edidiong Joseph Umoafia of Nigeria was the bronze medalist. Background Weightlifting was part of the programme of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, whereas its weight categories were changed in 2018 by the International Weightlifting Federation. One of these events would be the men's 67 kg event and would be included in the Games' programme. To qualify for the event, an athlete would have to either place first at the 2021 Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships in a category included at the Games, place high enough in the IWF Commonwealth Ranking List, or be given a Bipartite Invitation from the hosts. England can automatically qualify a weightlifter as they are the hosts of the event.

The 2021 Commonwealth Champion in the event would be Jeremy Lalrinnunga of India, qualifying him for the games. The athletes that had qualified through their ranking were Talha Talib of Pakistan, Edidiong Joseph Umoafia of Nigeria, Vaipava Ioane of Samoa, Chaturanga Lakmal of Sri Lanka, Craig Carfay of Scotland, Ruben Katoatau of Kiribati, Kester Loy of Singapore, and Ditto Ika of Nauru. Jaswant Shergill was the host's pick to represent England, while Marc Jonathan Coret of Mauritius was awarded the Bipartite Invitation. Later on, Talib would be removed from the list following his suspension for failing an anti-doping test.
