The men's marathon swimming over a distance of 10 kilometres at the 2012 Olympic Games in London took place on 10 August in the Serpentine at Hyde Park.[1]
Oussama Mellouli from Tunisia won the gold medal — Tunisia's first at the 2012 Games — in a time of 1 hour 49 minutes 55.1 seconds. Thomas Lurz of Germany finished second, less than four seconds behind Mellouli, to take silver, and the bronze went to Canada's Richard Weinberger.

Qualifications for the event were conducted at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, China, and at the 2012 FINA Olympic Marathon Swim Qualification in Setubal Bay, Portugal. Qualifiers were the 10 fastest swimmers in each race and then the fastest five competitors from the continental associations.[2]
