The men's 56 kg competition of the weightlifting events at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, was held on July 11 at the General Motors Centre.[1] The defending champion was Sergio Álvarez from Cuba.

Each lifter performed in both the snatch and clean and jerk lifts, with the final score being the sum of the lifter's best result in each. The athlete received three attempts in each of the two lifts; the score for the lift was the heaviest weight successfully lifted. This weightlifting event was the lightest men's event at the weightlifting competition, limiting competitors to a maximum of 56 kilograms of body mass.
