Tunisia competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Since the nation's official debut in 1960, Tunisian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for Moscow 1980 as part of the United States-led boycott.
On 30 April 2024, the World Anti-Doping Agency imposed sanctions on Tunisia due to non-compliance of its regulations on 30 August which meant that the Tunisian flag would not have been allowed to be used at the Games. The sanction was eventually lifted on 15 May, prior to the start of the games, after the head of Tunisia's anti-doping commission was removed.
As of 9 August 2024, Tunisia has three medals at the Games, with Farès Ferjani winning silver in the individual men's sabre event and Mohamed Khalil Jendoubi capturing the bronze in the men's 58 kg event, the latter becoming the first Tunisian to score back-to-back medals in taekwondo during the Olympics. Firas Katoussi would follow suit with the country's first gold medal in the Taekwondo men's 80 kg event.
