Cambodia competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. The nation returned to the Olympic Games as the Khmer Republic (1970–1975) after missing the 1968 Summer Olympics. Owing to the troubled situation of the country caused by Khmer Rouge, Cambodia would not compete again until the 1996 Summer Olympics.
