The women's 87 kg weightlifting competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo took place on 2 August 2021 at the Tokyo International Forum.[1][2] During the competition, Laurel Hubbard made history by becoming the first transgender woman athlete to compete in the Olympics.[3]

Li Wenwen from China won the gold, making three new Olympic records in the process, for snatch, clean & jerk as well as for the combined weight lifted.

The bouquets were presented by IWF Interim President Dr. Michael Irani (Great Britain), and medals were presented by IOC Member Juan Antonio Samaranch Salisachs (Spain).
