This is a list of members of the International Olympic Committee.

Currently there are 95 members, 41 honorary members and 1 honour member. Jacques Rogge is the Honorary President.[1]

Current members[edit]

The chairperson of an international organization, who represents an Olympic sport (e.g. the chairman of the athletics IAAF), is represented in the IOC "ex officio" (i.e., because of that position).
