The running Large Hadron Collider at CERN is expected to pin down the mechanism for the SM gauge symmetry breaking and to probe the possible new physics beyond the SM. On the other hand, neutrino masses may be the unique new physics based on robust experimental evidence. We review the current status of testing the seesaw models for neutrino masses at the LHC. The impact on the searches for the SM Higgs boson is briefly discussed.
