Wrestling at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games

Wrestling at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games was the seventh appearance of Wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Perth, Australia, and featured contests in eight weight classes.

The wrestling events were held in the Royal King's Park Tennis Club, outdoor, under floodlights, after the original plans to use the Drill Hall venue were rejected.

Pakistan dominated the wrestling medal table by virtue of winning seven of the eight gold medals on offer.
