Yemen competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics, since its reunification in 1990.

Three Yemeni athletes, two men and one woman, were selected to the team to compete each in athletics, judo, and swimming. All of them made their Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro, with lightweight judoka Zeyad Mater leading the Yemeni delegation as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony.[1] Yemen, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal.
