The boxing tournament at the 1951 Mediterranean Games was held in Alexandria, Egypt.
Although ten nations took part in the inaugural Mediterranean Games multi-sports event, only four of them (Egypt, Italy, Syria, Lebanon) entered athletes for the boxing tournament, which consisted of ten weight divisions.
All the final bouts took place at the Grand Salle of the Stade Fouad 1er (present-day Alexandria Stadium), the oldest and the largest stadium in Africa at the time which also hosted the opening ceremony of the Games on 5 October.
As Mediterranean Games were meant to be an event providing an opportunity for athletes to practice in the year before the Olympics, a number of medalists from Alexandria had either competed for their countries at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, or later went on to appear at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki nine months later:
