Seychelles is a country made of islands in the Indian Ocean. It first joined the Olympic Games in 1980. Since then, athletes from Seychelles have competed in most Summer Olympic Games. They only missed the 1988 Games. This was because the IOC invited them, but Seychelles did not reply.

Seychelles has never sent athletes to the Winter Olympic Games. So far, no athlete from Seychelles has won an Olympic medal.

The group in charge of sports for Seychelles, called the National Olympic Committee, was created in 1979. The International Olympic Committee officially recognized it in the same year.
