Norway competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's Olympic debut in 1900, Norwegian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for two occasions: the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, due to the country's support for the United States-led boycott.

Norwegian Olympic Committee and Confederation of Sports sent a team of 62 athletes, 29 men and 33 women, to compete in 13 sports at the Games.{{cite news|first=Caroline|last=Dokken Wendelborg|title=Troppen til Rio 2016 er komplett|trans-title=Squad for Rio 2016 is complete|language=no|url=https://www.idrettsforbundet.no/Nyhet/troppen-til-rio-2016-er-komplett/|publisher=Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports|date=16 July 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}}{{cite news|title=Ekspertene: Dette er Norges medaljehåp i Rio|trans-title=Experts said that Norway may win a medal in Rio|language=no|url=https://www.nrk.no/sport/ekspertene_-dette-er-norges-medaljehap-i-rio-1.13042142|publisher=NRK|date=16 July 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}} For only the fourth time in Olympic history, the Norwegian roster featured more female athletes than males, due to the participation of the women's handball squad at the Games, returning as two-time defending champions.{{cite news|title=Norway go for third consecutive handball gold|url=https://www.olympic.org/news/norway-go-for-third-consecutive-handball-gold|publisher=Olympics|date=5 August 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}} Among the sports, Norway made its debut in golf (new to the 2016 Games) and triathlon, as well as returning to taekwondo after not being represented at London 2012.

Topping the list of athletes on the Norwegian roster were mountain biker and Athens 2004 champion Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå, who qualified for her fifth Olympic cross-country race as the oldest and most experienced female competitor (aged 43), and rowing legend Olaf Tufte, who sought to add to his medal tally with a fourth medal at his sixth straight Olympics.{{cite news|first=Tore Ulrik|last=Bratland|title=Olaf Tufte (40) klar for sitt sjette OL|trans-title=Olaf Tufte (40) is ready for his sixth Olympics|language=no|url=http://www.dagbladet.no/2016/05/24/sport/roing/olaf_tufte/44328395/|publisher=Dagbladet|date=24 May 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}}

Apart from Flesjå and Tufte, several Norwegian athletes also returned to compete in Rio de Janeiro, including handball team captain Kari Aalvik Grimsbø, middle-distance runner Henrik Ingebrigtsen in the men's 1500 m, Gambian-born sprinter Jaysuma Saidy Ndure, and small-bore rifle shooter and London 2012 finalist Ole-Kristian Bryhn, who was nominated by the committee to lead the delegation as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony.{{cite news|title=Ole-Kristian Bryhn blir Norges flaggbærer i Rio|trans-title=Ole-Kristian Bryhn becomes Norway's flag bearer in Rio|language=no|url=http://www.vg.no/sport/ol-2016/ole-kristian-bryhn-blir-norges-flaggbaerer-i-rio/a/23756079/|publisher=Verdens Gang|date=3 August 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}}

Norway left Rio de Janeiro with four bronze medals, the country's worst Olympic performance since 1964, and the first time Norway competed without winning any gold medals since 1984.{{cite news|first=Trine|last=Eilertsen|title=Verste OL for Norge på 52 år|trans-title=Worst Olympics for Norway after 52 years|language=no|url=http://www.aftenposten.no/100Sport/mesterskap/Verste-OL-for-Norge-pa-52-ar-1882b.html|publisher=Verdens Gang|date=3 August 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}} Greco-Roman wrestler Stig André Berge brought home the country's first medal in the sport after 24 years, while Tufte successfully completed a full set of medals by securing a bronze alongside his partner Kjetil Borch in the men's double sculls, following his silver from Sydney 2000, and two golds in the single sculls from Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, respectively.{{cite news|title=Bronze is good as gold for Stig André Berge|url=https://www.norwegianamerican.com/sports/bronze-is-good-as-gold-for-stig-andre-berge/|publisher=The Norwegian American|date=5 September 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}}{{cite news|title=Two bronze medals in rowing for Norway|url=https://www.norwegianamerican.com/sports/two-bronze-medals-in-rowing-for-norway/|publisher=The Norwegian American|date=22 August 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}} Having entered the Games as two-time defending champions, the women's handball squad (led by Grimsbø) suffered a humiliating 37–38 defeat to Russia in the semifinals, but found some solace in overpowering the Dutch for the bronze.{{cite news|first=Alexandra|last=Ulmer|title=Handball: Defending champions Norway find some consolation in bronze|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-olympics-rio-handball-w-bronze-idUSKCN10V0KW|publisher=Reuters|date=20 August 2016|access-date=26 December 2016}}
