Ghana competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's sixteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics, having taken part in all but three editions since its debut (as the Gold Coast) in 1952. Ghana did not attend Montreal 1976 because of the African boycott, as well as the Moscow 1980, when the nation joined the United States-led boycott. Ghana failed to win its first Olympic medal, the first time since it earned its first and only bronze medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics as none of the athletes came close to an Olympic medal podium finish.
