Hungary first participated at the Olympic Games at the inaugural 1896 Games, and has sent athletes to compete in most Summer Olympic Games and every Winter Olympic Games since then. The nation was not invited to the 1920 Games for its role in World War I, and was part of the Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Hungarian athletes have won a total of 530 medals at the Summer Games and 10 medals at the Winter Games, with fencing being the top medal-producing sport. Hungary is ranked 9th in Summer Games medals and 13th in total medals for both Summer and Winter Games. Hungary has won more Olympic medals than any other existing nation never to have hosted the Games. After overtaking Finland at the 2020 Olympic Games, it is now the country with the highest number of gold medals won at Summer Olympics per capita (not counting microstates with less than 1 million inhabitants). At the 1956 and 1980 Winter Olympics, all participating Hungarian athletes won medals.

The National Olympic Committee for Hungary is the Hungarian Olympic Committee, and was created and recognized in 1895.

Fencing

Hungary has won the third-most gold medals and third-most total medals in fencing, in each case behind Italy and France. Hungary has historically been most successful in the sabre events. Hungary's first fencing appearance was in 1900, with 7 fencers including sabreurs who finished 4th and 5th. Hungary has dominated the men's individual sabre, winning half of the gold medals (14 of 28), including a string of 9 consecutive victories from 1924 to 1964 (with an 11-Games podium streak extending further to 1972). Hungary had also won in 1908 and 1912; the streaks might have been 12 and 15 if the nation had not been excluded from the Games in 1920 due to its role in World War I.
