Egypt participated with a total of 68 athletes at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Olympians have to be aged 14–18 in order to participate.
Egypt's run in Buenos Aires has been able to set many records. With a total amount of 12 medals, this was Egypt's most-successful Olympics.
Egypt won its first Olympics medal in a kicking sport when Egypt's Youth Futsal team took bronze in the men's event. Egypt was also able to mark their first Olympics medals in karate and boxing.
