The Russian Empire competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The Russian team had two riders in the initial Olympic equestrian competitions.

Both men competed in the long jump and in the mail coach and de Polyakov competed in the hacks and hunter combined event.

Similarly, it is not clear which of the two men entered the jumping competition; further, for this event, it is not clear whether the Russian entrant actually competed.

Russia competed in fencing in the nation's first Olympic appearance.
