Participation of Filipino athletes in the Olympics is sanctioned by its National Olympic Committee (NOC). Its NOC since 1975 is the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). Prior to that date, the Philippines was represented by the POC's predecessor, the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation which was founded in 1911. The Philippines is a recognized member of the International Olympic Committee since 1929.

Filipino athletes have won a total of eighteen Olympic medals (as of 2024 Summer Olympics), with boxing as the top medal-producing sport.{{cite news|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/430666/list-all-filipino-summer-olympics-medalists-in-history|author=Bong Lozada|work=INQUIRER.net|title=LIST: All Filipino Summer Olympics medalists in history|date=27 July 2021|access-date=14 August 2021}} On July 26, 2021, the Philippines clinched its first gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, with Hidilyn Diaz winning the Women's 55 kg event in Weightlifting.{{cite news |title=Hidilyn Diaz wins PH's first Olympic gold medal |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/othersports/796884/hidilyn-diaz-wins-ph-s-first-olympic-gold-medal/story/ |publisher=GMA News Online |date=July 26, 2021}} Furthermore, with a 1-2-1 haul in its best Olympic showing (until 2024), the Philippines emerged as the best performing Southeast Asian nation, a title they last held coincidentally in 1964, in Tokyo and leaped to third in the all-time medal table for Southeast Asia behind Thailand and Indonesia.{{Cite web|title=Philippines ends Tokyo Olympics as top Southeast Asian nation|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/philippines-ends-tokyo-olympics-top-southeast-asian-nation|access-date=2021-09-01|website=Rappler|date=8 August 2021 |language=en}}

The 2024 Summer Olympics that was held in Paris, was the Philippines' centennial anniversary of its participation in the Games, and its best showing yet, usurping its performance in the previous edition. Carlos Yulo won the gold medal in both the Men's Floor and Vault events in Gymnastics,{{Cite web |last=Ballesteros |first1=Jan |last2=Villanueva |first2=Kristina |date=2024-08-04 |title=Double delight for Carlos Yulo as he strikes gold a second time in vault in Paris 2024 |url=https://www.onesports.ph/paris-2024/article/23297/double-delight-for-carlos-yulo-as-he-strikes-gold-a-second-time-in-vault-in-paris-2024 |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=One Sports|language=en}} Aira Villegas and Nesthy Petecio won the bronze medal in Women's Flyweight and Featherweight events, respectively.

The nation has competed at every Summer Olympic Games since then, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. The Philippines also decided against participating at the 1940 Summer Olympics before the Games was ultimately cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II.{{cite news|title=Philippines Out of Olympics at Helsinki|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0xAvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=uKYFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6435%2C2700791|publisher=Berkeley Daily Gazette|access-date=15 September 2016|date=29 November 1939}}
