Kiribati competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, it was postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country's participation in Tokyo marked its fifth appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 2004.

The Kiribati delegation consisted of three athletes: sprinter Lataisi Mwea, judoka Kinaua Biribo, and weightlifter Ruben Katoatau. Mwea qualified through a universality slot given by World Athletics, while Katoatau and Kinaua^[a] were the highest ranked eligible Oceanian athletes in their categories. Kinaua and Katoatau were the flagbearers for the opening ceremony, while Katoatau solely held the flag at the closing ceremony. All three athletes did not medal, and as of these Games, Kiribati has yet to earn an Olympic medal.
