Slovakia at the 2024 Summer Olympics

Slovakia competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's eighth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics after gaining its independence from the former Czechoslovakia.

Slovakia left the Olympics with only a bronze medal, won by Matej Beňuš in Men's C-1 slalom canoeing, marking the country's least successful Summer Olympics since its independence. Despite the single medal, Slovak athletes produced multiple surprises and high finishes in their respective disciplines, including Richard Tury in Men's street skateboarding, Anna Karolína Schmiedlová in Women's tennis singles, or Vanesa Hocková and Danka Barteková in Women's skeet shooting.
