Qualifications for Men's artistic gymnastic competitions at the 2012 Summer Olympics were held at the North Greenwich Arena on July 28. The results of the qualification determined the qualifiers to the finals: 8 teams in the team final, 24 gymnasts in the all-around final, and 8 gymnasts in each of 6 apparatus finals. The competition was divided to 3 subdivisions. The first subdivision took place at 11:00 British Summer Time (UTC+1); the second and third subdivision at 15:30 BST and 20:00 BST respectively.^[1]

Subdivisions

Gymnasts from nations taking part in the team all-round event were grouped together while the other gymnasts were grouped into one of six mixed groups. The groups were divided into the three subdivisions after a draw held by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique.^[2] The groups rotated through each of the six apparatuses together.

Reserves

The reserves for the individual all-around event final were

•  Guo Weiyang (CHN)
•  Stephen Gorbachev (KAZ)
•  Jimmy Verbaeys (BEL)
•  Felix Aronovich (ISR)

Only two gymnasts from each country may advance to the All Around Final. Therefore, in some cases, a third gymnast placed high enough to qualify, but did not advance to the final because of the quota. Gymnasts who did not advance to the Final, but had high enough scores to do so were:

•  Philipp Boy (GER) (17th place)
•  Oleg Stepko (UKR) (20th place)
•  Kazuhito Tanaka (JPN) (22nd place) (ended up replacing Yamamuro, who was injured after the Team Final)
•  Sergio Muñoz (ESP) (26th place)
