Paraguay competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

Comité Olímpico Paraguayo sent a total of 8 athletes, an equal share between men and women, to compete in 6 sports.

Javelin thrower Leryn Franco, who competed at her third Olympics, was considered one of the most beautiful women in these Olympic Games, because of her professional career as a model and a beauty pageant contestant.

[1] Freestyle swimmer Benjamin Hockin, who played for Great Britain in Beijing, and embraced British roots to represent his mother's home land, became the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.

Paraguay, however, failed to win a single Olympic medal in London, since the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where the men's football team won the silver.
