Malawi competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France from 26 July to 11 August 2024. This marked Malawi's eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1972. Malawi did not attend the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal or the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, because of its support for the African- and United States-led boycotts, respectively.
