Lü Xiaojun (Chinese: 吕小军; pinyin: Lǚ Xiǎojūn; born July 27, 1984) is a Chinese weightlifter. He is an Olympic Champion and three time world champion, as well as the current world and Olympic record holder for both the snatch and the total in the 77 kg category. His world records are 176 kg (388 lb) in the snatch and 380 kg (840 lb) total. He utilizes the squat jerk technique instead of the typical split jerk.

Lü won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the 77 kg class with a total of 379 kg.[2] His snatch of 175 kg set both a world and Olympic record, as did his total of 379 kg. Due to an error during the snatch phase, Lü was unable to attempt his third lift at 177 kg.

Lü won 3 gold medals in the 77 kg class at the 2013 World Weightlifting Championships. He broke his own world record in the snatch with a lift of 176 kg. He also completed a 204 kg clean and jerk, setting a new world record total of 380 kg.[3]
