Yugoslavia participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1920. Before that, many of Yugoslavia's athletes competed for Austria-Hungary. A small team of Serbian athletes participated in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
Yugoslavia participated under three different teams:
- Kingdom of Yugoslavia (officially: State of the Slovenes, Croats and Serbs until 1929) from 1920-1926
- SFRY from 1948-Olympic Winter Games 1992
- Serbia and Montenegro (established after the break-up of Yugoslavia) 1996-2002
Croatia and Slovenia first competed as independent teams at the 1992 Winter Games, Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1992 Summer Games, and all former members of Yugoslavia were represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics, except for the former autonomous province of Kosovo, which made its debut at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
