Uruguay first participated at the Olympic Games in 1924, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except when they boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics. The nation has participated in the Winter Olympic Games for the first time in 1998 and participated again in 2026 after 28 years of absence.

Uruguayan athletes have won ten medals, with two gold medals in football.

Uruguay's National Olympic Committee was created in 1923, and recognized by the International Olympic Committee the same year.
