Serbia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's fourth appearance at the Summer Olympics as an independent nation. It was represented by 103 competitors (45 women and 58 men) in 14 sports.

With the total of eight medals (two gold, four silver and two bronze) in seven sports, these Games were the nation's most successful feat at the Olympics since the break up of Yugoslavia, doubling the amount earned in London 2012. A total of 54 athletes (52% of whole Olympic team) participated in winning medals.

Gold medals were awarded to the water polo team and wrestler Davor Štefanek. All four Serbian teams that participated in the Games – men's water polo, men's basketball, women's volleyball and women's basketball – won a medal. The remaining medals were won by Tijana Bogdanović (taekwondo, silver), Marko Tomićević–Milenko Zorić (kayak, silver) and Ivana Španović (long jump, bronze).

On February 17, 2008 Kosovo's Parliament declared independence from Serbia, but Serbia doesn't recognize it and considers it its southern province.[26] On December 9, 2014 the International Olympic Committee recognized the Olympic Committee of Kosovo despite it not being a member or observer state of the United Nations, and therefore Kosovo is a participant at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[27] In reaction to the decision of the International Olympic Committee to accept Kosovo as a full member, Vlade Divac said that the Serbian Olympic Committee did all they could while foreign minister Ivica Dačić and minister of sports Vanja Udovičić expressed disapproval, with Divac adding there would be no boycott of the games.[28][29] Prior to the Rio 2016 opening ceremony, Udovičić advised Serbian athletes to withdraw themselves from any medal ceremonies if they have to share the podium with athletes from Kosovo.[30] Some of athletes from Kosovo, such as volleyball player Milena Rašić and basketball player Marko Simonović, continued to play for the Serbian national team.
