Nauru competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country's participation in Tokyo marked its seventh appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1996.

The Nauruan delegation consisted of seven people with two athletes: sprinter Jonah Harris and weightlifter Nancy Genzel Abouke, the smallest athlete delegation of a country at those Games.^[a] Harris qualified through a universality slot by World Athletics while Abouke qualified through a tripartite invitation quota given by the International Weightlifting Federation. Harris and Abouke were the flagbearers for the opening ceremony, while Abouke solely held the flag at the closing ceremony. Neither athlete medaled, and as of these Games, Nauru had not earned an Olympic medal.
