The men's Greco-Roman 72 kilograms is a competition featured at the 2022 U23 World Wrestling Championships held in Pontevedra, Spain, on 18 and 19 October 2022.[1][2] The qualification rounds were held on 18 October, while medal matches were held on the 2nd day of the competition. A total of 24 wrestlers competed in this event, which was limited to athletes whose body weight was less than 72 kilograms.

This Greco-Roman wrestling competition consists of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winner of two bronze medals. The two finalists face off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who loses to one of the two finalists moves into the repechage, culminating in a pair of bronze medal matches featuring the semifinal losers, each facing the remaining repechage opponent from their half of the bracket.
