Somalia sent a delegation to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games have been postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the nation's tenth appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1972, only missing for three occasions: 1976, due to the Congolese-led boycott; 1980, due to the US-led boycott; and 1992, for political reasons.
Somalia's team consisted of one male athletics athlete, Ali Idow Hassan, and one female boxing athelete, Ramla Ali. Both of them served as the country's opening ceremony flagbearer. Both of them were eliminated in their first round of competition.
The following is the list of number of competitors in the Games.
Somalia received a universality slot from theÃÂ World AthleticsÃÂ to send one athlete to the Olympics.
