Kyrgyzstan competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Olympics in the post-Soviet era. The National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan fielded a squad of 19 athletes, 12 men and 7 women, to compete in six different sports at the Games. Although its full roster was roughly larger by five athletes than in London four years earlier, this was still one of Kyrgyzstan's smallest delegations sent to the Olympics. Among the sports represented by the nation's athletes, Kyrgyzstan marked its Olympic return in boxing after an eight-year absence.
