Portugal first participated at the Olympic Games in 1912, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then. Earlier that year, the Olympic Committee of Portugal (COP, Comité Olímpico de Portugal) was recognised by the International Olympic Committee as the Portuguese National Olympic Committee. In 1952, Portugal competed for the first time at the Winter Olympic Games, and appeared again 36 years later in 1988 to compete since then.

As of the 2024 Summer Olympics, forty two Portuguese athletes have won a total of thirty-two medals (six golds, eleven silvers and fifteen bronzes) in nine summer sports. Athletics has provided the most medals, including five golds. Portugal has not yet won any medal at the Winter Olympics.
