This article contains dynamic lists that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

The following list shows the number of Olympic medals won by alumni or students of American universities - not necessarily representing the U.S. - in Olympic Games up through 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. The list starts with universities with most Olympic medals, continuing in descending order. Only those who actually received Olympic medals are counted - thus the list includes Olympic athletes only, excluding coaches, staff managers and so on.[1][2] A university with remarks "I" means the count might be incomplete due to the lack of reliable sources.

In 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, the university with most Olympic medals in the U.S. is Stanford University (27 medals), followed by UC Berkeley (22 medals) and University of Southern California (21 medals); University of Florida (13 medals) and UT Austin (13 medals) tied for 4th place.[3][4][5]

Rank University Gold Silver Bronze Total Remarks
1 University of Southern California[6][7] 144 93 72 309
2 Stanford University[8] 139 73 58 270
3 University of California, Los Angeles[9] 123 54 56 233 This count is fewer than UCLA's official count because UCLA's official count also includes medals won by coaches, managers, etc.
4 University of California, Berkeley[10] 117 51 39 207
5 University of Michigan[11][3] 68 39 37 144

8 Harvard University[16] 46 41 21 108
9 Yale University[17][18] 51 26 30 107 The two "official counts" of Yale are both incomplete. The first count includes non-athlete medals and does not include 2012 Olympics, while the second one mistakenly takes some coaches as athletes.
