Gabon competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's twelfth appearance since its debut in 1972, with two exceptions: a Congolese-led boycott in 1976, and the US-led boycott in 1980.
Gabon failed to earn its Olympic medal for the third consecutive time after its back-to-back poor performances in 2016 and in 2020.
