Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan were the defending champions, but lost to wildcards Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen in the semifinals. Marray and Nielsen won the title defeating fifth seeded Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau who competed in their third consecutive Wimbledon final. Marray became the first British player to win the men's doubles at Wimbledon since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey in 1936. Nielsen is only the second Danish winner of a Grand Slam title, following his own grandfather, Kurt Nielsen, who won the mixed doubles at the 1957 U.S. National Championships.
