Bolivia first participated at the Olympic Games in 1936. The nation has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since 1964, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. The nation has also participated in the Winter Olympic Games on several occasions since 1956, but not since 1992.

As of 2008, no athlete from Bolivia has ever won an Olympic medal.

The National Olympic Committee for Bolivia was created in 1932 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1936.
