Austria competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Olympic Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was the nation's twenty-eighth appearance at the Summer Olympics.

Austria won seven medals, a significant improvement on their 2016 result, when the country won only a single bronze medal. In women's road race, Anna Kiesenhofer won Austria's first gold medal at the Summer Olympics since 2004.

Equestrian Victoria Max-Theurer withdrew from the Olympics because her horse had a dental problem.

Equestrian

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Austria entered one eventing rider into the Olympic equestrian competition by securing the last of six available slots, outside the group and continental selection, in the individual FEI Olympic rankings. Meanwhile, a composite squad of three dressage riders was formed and thereby added to the Austrian roster by receiving a spare berth freed up by one of two nations, unable to fulfill the NOC Certificate of Capability, based on their individual results in the FEI Olympic rankings at the end of 2019 season.[5] With Pakistan failing to comply with the minimum eligibility requirements, Austria received an invitation from FEI to send an additional eventing rider to the Games, as the next highest-ranked eligible nation outside of the group and continental selection.[6]

Dressage

The Austrian dressage team was named on June 11, 2021. The team is led by four-time Olympian Victoria Max-Theurer, who is joined by Florian Bacher and Christian Schumach.[7]
