Paraguay competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's seventeenth appearance at the Summer Olympics. It is the nation's fourteenth straight appearance at the Summer Olympics, except for the 1980 edition in Moscow, because of the nation's partial support for the US-led boycott. Paraguay has yet to earn its first Olympic gold medal; César Almirón was disqualified from the repechange in the Men's 200 m, and Paraguay were eliminated by Egypt in the quarterfinals in football 4-5 on penalty kicks.
