Template:Infobox Olympics Japan

Japan is scheduled to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's official debut in 1912, Japanese athletes have competed at every Summer Olympic Games in the modern era, except for two editions: they were not invited to the 1948 Summer Olympics in London due to the nation's role in World War II, and were also part of the US-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

With Tokyo being the host city of the 2020 Summer Olympics, a Japanese segment will be performed during the closing ceremony.

Archery
