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

These were the most successful Olympic Games for Bosnia and Herzegovina thus far, who for the first time ever had more than one athlete place among the ten best in their categories, with Nedžad Husić finishing fifth, Amel Tuka finishing sixth, and Larisa Cerić finishing ninth.[2] Also close to finishing in the top ten was Mesud Pezer, who placed eleventh. Despite these improvements, however, Bosnia and Herzegovina still failed to secure a single medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics.
