Papua New Guinea competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's ninth appearance at the Olympics. Papua New Guinea has appeared at every Summer Olympics since 1976, except the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of its partial support for the United States boycott.
Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee (PNGOC) sent a total of 8 athletes to the Games, an equal share of men and women, to compete in 5 different sports. Swimmer Ryan Pini, who competed at his third Olympics, emerged as the nation's most successful athlete in history, after finishing eighth from Beijing in the men's butterfly event. Sprinter Toea Wisil, who dominated the preliminary standings in London, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Among the sports played by the athletes, Papua New Guinea marked its Olympic debut in judo.
Papua New Guinea, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal.
