Template:Infobox Olympics Croatia

Croatia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics.

The Croatian Olympic Committee (Template:Lang-hr, HOO) sent a roster of 87 athletes (68 men and 19 women) over 18 sports. Basketball, water polo, and handball were the only team-based sports in which Croatia had its representation in these Olympic Games. Among the sports played by athletes, Croatia also marked its Olympic debut in diving and a return in weightlifting from a twelve-year absence.

Croatia left Rio de Janeiro with a total of ten medals (five gold, three silver and two bronze), finishing seventeenth overall in the medal tally. This was also the nation's most successful Olympics since its debut in 1992, surpassing the amount of six medals earned from London 2012. The gold medals were awarded to Josip Glasnović (shooting), Martin and Valent Sinković (rowing), Šime Fantela and Igor Marenić (sailing), Sara Kolak (javelin throw), and Sandra Perković (discus throw).
