France 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, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[3] French athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, alongside Australia, Great Britain, Greece, and Switzerland. As Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympics, France was the penultimate nation to enter the stadium, alongside the United States which will host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, before the host country Japan during the parade of nations at the opening ceremony. Additionally, a French segment was performed in Paris and some pre-recorded events at the closing ceremony as performers did not travel to Tokyo due to the travel restrictions related to the pandemic. However, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo was the only delegation present at the ceremony.

France competed in all sports except baseball (softball), field hockey, and water polo.

France repeated its gold medal tally from the previous games, but its overall medal haul was down from 42 to 33, the lowest since Athens 2004. The country however scored numerous victories in team sports, namely a double in handball (both men and women won gold), gold in men's volleyball, silver in men's basketball and women's rugby sevens, and bronze in women's basketball.
