Australia competed at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Eighteen athletes participated, competing in alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, figure skating, and speed skating, and for the first time bobsleigh. Australia's best result was tenth by Danny Kah in the 5000 metres speed skating.
Australia also participated in the demonstration sports of aerial freestyle skiing and short track speed skating.
There had earlier been hopes that Janine Shepherd would do well at these Olympics, but she was hit by a motorist and made a paraplegic while training for it.
