Mauritius competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's ninth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics. Mauritius Olympic Committee confirmed a team of 11 athletes, five men and six women, to compete in eight sports at the Games. The nation's roster in Rio de Janeiro was relatively larger than those sent to both Beijing 2008 and London 2012 by a single athlete. Among the sports represented by the athletes, Mauritius marked its Olympic comeback in badminton and weightlifting after an eight-year absence.
