1906 Intercalated Games

Norway competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's official debut in 1900, Norwegian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for two occasions: the sparsely attended 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, because of its partial support to the United States-led boycott.

Norway left Rio de Janeiro with a total of four bronze medals, failing to win a single gold for the first time since 1984. Two of these medals were awarded to Norwegian athletes in rowing and one each in the women's handball and men's Greco-Roman wrestling.
