Fiji competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's debut in 1956, Fijian athletes had taken part in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for two occasions. Fiji failed to register any athletes at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and joined the American-led boycott when Moscow hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics.

Fiji Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee sent the nation's largest delegation to the Games, due to the attendance of the men's football and rugby sevens teams. A total of 54 athletes, 37 men and 17 women, and 35 officials were registered to the Fijian squad across ten different sports.{{cite news|first=Waisea|last=Nasokia|url=http://fijisun.com.fj/2016/07/30/54-athletes-32-officials-for-rio-olympics/|title=54 Athletes, 32 Officials For Rio Olympics|publisher=Fiji Sun|date=30 July 2016|access-date=14 September 2016}} There was only a single competitor in archery, boxing, judo, shooting, and table tennis, the country's sporting debut apart from the rugby sevens.

The Fijian team featured a number of returning Olympians, including archer Rob Elder, javelin thrower Leslie Copeland, swimmer Matelita Buadromo (women's 200 m freestyle), weightlifter Manueli Tulo (men's 56 kg), and judoka Josateki Naulu (men's 81 kg). 53-year-old trap shooter Glenn Kable, who had competed in every edition since 2004, was the oldest and most experienced member of the team, with 17-year-old table tennis player Sally Yee rounding out the field as the youngest member.{{cite news|url=http://fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=364951|title=Finger on the trigger|work=Fiji Times|date=1 August 2016|access-date=14 September 2016|archive-date=12 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180312083928/http://fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=364951|url-status=dead}} Rugby sevens team captain Osea Kolinisau was selected as Fiji's flag bearer for the opening ceremony.

Fiji earned its first ever Olympic medal at these Games, with a gold from the men's rugby sevens team (led by Kolinisau).{{cite news|last=Ewart|first=Richard|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-22/fiji-olympic-team-returns-home-to-celebrations/7771170|title=Rio 2016: Fiji rugby sevens team returns home to national celebrations after winning first Olympic gold|publisher=ABC News Australia|date=22 August 2016|access-date=14 September 2016}}

Fiji qualified one judoka for the men's light-middleweight category (81 kg) at the Games.
