The Guatemalan Olympic Committee (Spanish; Castilian: '''Comité Olímpico Guatemalteco''', abbreviated as COG) is a non-profit organization serving as the National Olympic Committee of Guatemala and a part of the International Olympic Committee and PASO. It was formed in 1947 and recognized by the IOC that same year.
On 15 October 2022 the International Olympic Committee officially suspended the National Olympic Committee of Guatemala. As a result of the suspension, any athletes of Guatemala no longer had the ability represent the country and compete under the country's flag/name at the Olympic Games and other international multi-sports events. The Guatemalan NOC would also lose all the funding from IOC.[1]
On March 19, 2024, the IOC EB provisionally lifted the suspension of Guatemala's NOC.[2]
