Yugoslavia at the Olympics

**Yugoslavia** sent athletes to the **Olympic Games** for the first time in 1920. Before this, several athletes from Croatia, Slovenia and Vojvodina were on the Olympic teams of Austria or Hungary when those countries were part of the Empire of Austria-Hungary. A small team of two athletes been sent from the Serbia to the 1912 Summer Olympics.

_Yugoslavia_ has been the name for Olympic teams from three distinct nations:
- Kingdom of Yugoslavia (officially called the _Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes_ until 1929) from 1920–1936
- Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1948 to the 1992 Winter Olympics
- Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, made up of only Montenegro and Serbia, from 1996–2002

Two of the nations that were at one time part of Yugoslavia, (Croatia and Slovenia), started sending their own teams to the Olympics at the 1992 Winter Olympics. As of the 2008 Summer Olympics, all six former parts of Yugoslavia were sending their own teams to the Games.
