Australia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. Australian athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era. The Australian Olympic Committee sent a total of 410 athletes to the Games to compete in 23 sports.
Australia left London with a total of 35 medals (7 gold, 16 silver, and 12 bronze), the lowest in Summer Olympics since 1992. Ten of these medals were awarded to the athletes in swimming, including the gold from the women's freestyle relay team; six in cycling, five in rowing, and four in sailing. Nine Australian athletes won more than a single Olympic medal in London, while 11 of them managed to claim their Olympic titles for the first time. From the twenty-three sports played by the athletes, fourteen of them contained at least a single Olympic medal. With the absence of baseball and softball at the Olympics, Australia's team-based athletes proved successful in London, as the field hockey teams and the women's basketball team each won bronze medals. For the first time since 2000, Australia did not win an Olympic gold medal in rowing.
Among the nation's medalists were sailor Malcolm Page, who successfully defended his Olympic title in the men's 470 class, and hurdler Sally Pearson, who became the first Australian female athlete to win gold in athletics after 12 years. Anna Meares, who won gold and bronze in London, became one of the most successful track cyclists in history, with a total of five Olympic medals. Meanwhile, Leisel Jones, who competed at her fourth Olympics, emerged as the greatest Australian female swimmer in history, with a total of nine Olympic medals, including one from London.
On 17 June 2016, the eighth gold medalist was awarded to Jared Tallent in the 50 kilometres walk, after the disqualification of Russian Sergey Kirdyapkin due to doping.{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jun/17/jared-tallent-finally-awarded-his-2012-olympic-gold-medal-in-melbourne |title=Jared Tallent finally awarded his 2012 Olympic gold medal in Melbourne |agency=Australian Associated Press |date=17 June 2016 |work=theguardian.com |access-date=23 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160726120823/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jun/17/jared-tallent-finally-awarded-his-2012-olympic-gold-medal-in-melbourne |archive-date=26 July 2016 |url-status=live}}

Delegation
The Australian Olympic Committee selected a team of 410 athletes, 224 men and 186 women, to compete in 23 sports; it was the nation's fifth largest team sent to the Olympics, but the smallest since the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. 227 Australian athletes had competed at their first Games, including freestyle swimmer and pre-Olympic favorite James Magnussen, and slalom kayaker Jessica Fox.
The Australian team featured twelve defending Olympic champions, including swimmer Stephanie Rice, who won a total of three Olympic gold medals, pole vaulter Steve Hooker, who broke an Olympic record in Beijing, and diver Matthew Mitcham, who won a gold medal for the first time in men's platform. Equestrian eventing rider Andrew Hoy became the first Australian athlete in history to participate in seven Olympic Games. Three athletes made their sixth Olympic appearance: road cyclist Stuart O'Grady, and trap shooters Michael Diamond and Russell Mark. Beach volleyballer and two-time Olympic medalist Natalie Cook became the first Australian female athlete to compete at five Olympic Games. Dressage rider Mary Hanna, at age 57, was the oldest athlete of the team, while diver Brittany Broben was the youngest at age 16.{{cite web|title=Australia to send 410 athletes to London |url=http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8497679 |work=Ninemsn London Olympics 2012 News, 11 July 2012 |access-date=11 July 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610202044/http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8497679 |archive-date=10 June 2015 }}

Australia left London with a total of three track and field medals at the Olympics. Sprint hurdler and pre-Olympic favorite Sally Pearson became the first woman to win the nation's gold medal in the track and field since Cathy Freeman in 2000. Long jumper Mitchell Watt, competing at his first Olympics, became the fourth man to claim the silver medal in that event. Jared Tallent was initially presented with the silver medal for the men's 50 km race walk, matching the silver medal he won four years earlier in Beijing, but he was subsequently awarded the gold medal for the London event after Russia's Sergey Kirdyapkin was stripped of his first-place finish after being found guilty of doping.{{cite web|title=Athletics Australia Statement from Phil Jones and Jared Tallent|url=http://athletics.com.au/News/Archive/Archive-List/jared-tallent-5|website=Athletics Australia News, 24 March 2016|access-date=17 June 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160629171229/http://athletics.com.au/News/Archive/Archive-List/jared-tallent-5|archive-date=29 June 2016}} Tallent was presented with his gold medal for the London {{cvt|50|km}} race at a ceremony held in Melbourne on 17 June 2016.{{cite news|last1=Colasimone|first1=Dan|title=Jared Tallent finally gets his gold medal for London Olympics 50k walk|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-17/jared-tallent-finally-gets-his-gold-medal-ceremony/7519696|access-date=17 June 2016|work=ABC News|date=17 June 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160617042323/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-17/jared-tallent-finally-gets-his-gold-medal-ceremony/7519696|archive-date=17 June 2016}}

Swimming

Australia entered swimmers in most events, after having achieved the qualifying standards (up to a maximum of two swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and one at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)).{{cite web|title=Swimming World Rankings |url=http://www.fina.org/H2O/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=805 |publisher=FINA |access-date=8 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110106131744/http://www.fina.org/H2O/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=805 |archive-date=6 January 2011 }}{{citation|title=FÉDÉRATION INTERNATIONALE DE NATATION – Swimming |url=http://www.fina.org/H2O/docs/events/london2012/sw/sw_qual.pdf |publisher=FINA |access-date=8 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726002300/http://www.fina.org/H2O/docs/events/london2012/sw/sw_qual.pdf |archive-date=26 July 2011 }} 47 swimmers were selected to the team after the 2012 Australian Swimming Championships, held in Adelaide from 15 to 22 March 2012.{{cite web|title=More than 800 swimmers set eyes on London |url=http://www.swimming.org.au/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=NewsItem&NewsID=23850 |publisher=swimming.org.au |access-date=6 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304090856/http://www.swimming.org.au/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=NewsItem&NewsID=23850 |archive-date=4 March 2012 }}
The Australian swimmers included the pre-Olympic favorite James Magnussen, competing in four of his individual and relay events, defending champion Stephanie Rice in the individual medley events, and breaststroker and former world-record holder Leisel Jones, who was at her fourth Olympics.
Australia left London with 10 swimming medals, one gold, six silver, and three bronze. The only gold medal was awarded to the women's 4 × 100 metres freestyle relay team. Swimmer Alicia Coutts became the nation's only female athlete to win five Olympic medals, including two from her individual events. Backstroker Emily Seebohm, on the other hand, broke a new Olympic record during the heats in the women's 100 m backstroke event, but managed to settle for silver in the finals. Jones and Rice qualified successfully for the final rounds of their respective individual events, but missed out of the medal standings. Magnussen, however, made a disappointing finish in all of his events, after winning only the silver medal in men's 100 m freestyle, behind U.S. swimmer Nathan Adrian, and the bronze in the men's 4 × 100 metres medley relay event.
