Ivory Coast competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

For the third time in its history, Ivory Coast was represented by more female than male athletes at an Olympic event.

Sprinter Ben Youssef Meité was the nation's first male flag bearer at the opening ceremony since 2000.

Among the sports played by the athletes, Ivory Coast also marked its Olympic debut in archery.

Sprinter and Olympic hopeful Murielle Ahouré qualified successfully for the final rounds in two of her events, but missed out of the nation's first medal since 1984, after finishing farther from the standings.
