The qualification in apparatus gymnastics for men at the 2012 Olympic Games in London was held on July 28, 2012 at The O₂ . A total of 98 gymnasts competed.

The qualifying tournament produced the qualifiers for the various finals. So eight teams qualified for the team all-around competition. 24 gymnasts for the individual all-around and eight gymnasts each for the six apparatus finals.

Grouping

Three qualification groups were formed. The gymnasts whose teams took part in the team all-around competition were grouped together. The remaining gymnasts were drawn into six mixed groups. This resulted in the following groups:

• Group 1 with the teams from the People's Republic of China , France , United Kingdom and South Korea as well as the mixed groups 3 and 4
• Group 2 with the teams from the USA , Japan and Italy as well as the mixed groups 1, 5 and 6
• Group 3 with the teams from Germany , Romania , Russia , Spain and Ukraine as well as the mixed group 2

The group division served the smooth running of the event and had no effect on the qualification itself. Group 1 started at 12:00 p.m. CEST. Group 2 at 4:30 p.m. CEST and Group 3 at 9:00 p.m. CEST.
