{{Fencing at the 2016 Summer Olympics}}
The fencing competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro took place from 6 to 14 August at the Carioca Arena 3 inside the Barra Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca. Around 212 fencers (an equal distribution between men and women; of which, eight fencers came from the host nation Brazil) competed in 10 events -- six individual and four team.{{cite web|url=http://www.rio2016.com/en/the-games/olympic/sports/fencing |title=Rio 2016: Fencing |publisher=Rio 2016 |access-date=15 April 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416095039/http://www.rio2016.com/en/the-games/olympic/sports/fencing |archive-date=16 April 2015 }}
Similar to 2008 and 2012, the International Fencing Federation maintained the format of ten events with a rotation system for team events. As a result, the men's team sabre and the women's team foil were dropped from the program only at these Games.{{cite news|first=Nick|last=Butler|title=Men's sabre and women's foil team events removed from Rio 2016 fencing programme|url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1017208/men-s-sabre-and-women-s-foil-team-events-removed-from-rio-2016-fencing-programme|publisher=Inside the Games|date=29 November 2013|access-date=15 April 2015}}{{cite news|title=2 fencing team events cut for Rio|url=https://www.espn.com/olympics/fencing/story/_/id/10052792/two-fencing-team-events-cut-rio-games|publisher=ESPN|date=1 December 2013|access-date=15 April 2015}}
