The Republic of China (ROC) currently competes as Chinese Taipei at the Olympic Games. The ROC first participated at the Summer Olympic Games in 1932. After the Chinese Civil War, the ROC retreated to the island of Taiwan, and only Taiwanese athletes competed in the Olympics from 1952 to 1976. Taiwanese athletes continued to participate in the games under the name "Republic of China" from 1952 to 1976, although it competed in the 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics under the name "Taiwan".

The People's Republic of China (PRC) refused to join the Olympic movement as long as the ROC competed under that name, or as "Taiwan". The International Olympic Committee adopted a resolution in 1979 to use the Chinese Taipei designation for Taiwan, and since 1984, both the PRC and ROC have attended every Games.

Taiwanese athletes have won a total of fifteen medals at the Summer Games, with taekwondo as the top medal-producing sport. The nation has never won a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.
