According to the Evening Standard, the Ipsos survey was carried out in 16 nations, with Sweden topping the list with 81% percent for gay marriage.
They were followed by Norway (78%), Spain (76%) and Belgium (67%).
In all these countries, it is legal for same-sex couples to marry.
The countries with the lowest support was Poland (21%), Japan (24%), South Korea (26%) and Hungary, with 30% support.
Of those within the UK, 55% supported same-sex marriage.
The latest figures come as thousands prepare to celebrate LGBT Pride in London this weekend, while the legislation regarding gay marriage laws in Britain completed its committee stage in the House of Lords yesterday.
Overall, the study found 52% of people supported full marriage equality, while a further 21% supported legal recognition that stopped short of marriage. Only 14% of those asked were against any legal recognition.
Simon Atkinson, of Ipsos MORI, said: "Same-sex marriage is more controversial in Westminster than it is among the public at large. What this poll shows is that David Cameron is in step, not just with the mood in Britain, but also with people in many countries around the world."
