Tanzania first participated at the Olympic Games in 1964, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except for the boycotted 1976 Games. The nation has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games.
Tanzanian athletes have won a total of two medals, both in athletics.
The National Olympic Committee for Tanzania was created in 1968 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee that same year.
