Germany 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 Olympic Games after its reunification in 1990.

Germany competed in all sports except artistic swimming, baseball, rugby sevens, softball and water polo.

Germany's medal total of 37 medals is the second lowest number won by Germany at a Summer Olympics post-reunification, only better than the performance in Paris 2024, where the country ended with 33 medal in total.

    Following the completion of the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, German riders accumulated spots for both men and women in team sprint, team pursuit, and madison, as well as the men's omnium, based on their country's results in the final UCI Olympic rankings. As a result of their place in the men's and women's team sprint, Germany won its right to enter two riders in both men's and women's sprint and men's and women's keirin.
