Austria competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Olympic Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1] It was the nation's twenty-eighth appearance at the Summer Olympics.

Austria won seven medals, a significant improvement on their 2016 result, when the country won only a single bronze medal. In women's road race, Anna Kiesenhofer won Austria's first gold medal at the Summer Olympics since 2004.

Equestrian Victoria Max-Theurer withdrew from the Olympics because her horse had a dental problem.
