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 1980 Summer Olympics boycott. The nation has also participated in the Winter Olympic Games on several occasions since 1956.

To date, no athlete from Bolivia has ever won an Olympic medal, making it the only South American country never to do so.

For Bolivia, their best result in terms of placing was in 1992 in Athletics, when their women’s 4x400m relay team finished 14th out of 15 teams. However a more impressive feat was in 2016, also in Athletics in the Women’s 20km Walk, as Ángela Castro finished in 18th place out of 74 athletes.
