Nordic combined at the 1948 Winter Olympics consisted of one event, held from 31 January to 1 February.

39 competitors in that race went on to compete in the ski jumping, with each jumper taking three attempts, and the top two counting for points.

The athlete with the highest combined points score was awarded the gold medal.
