South Sudan competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled for 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and took place on 23 July to 8 August 2021. After the South Sudan National Olympic Committee's recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 2015, this was the nation's second appearance at the Summer Olympics (after its debut in 2016). The delegation consisted of two athletes: Abraham Guem and Lucia Moris in athletics.

South Sudan did not win any medals during the Paris Olympics. Guem and Moris were the flagbearers in the opening ceremony, and Guem was the flagbearer at the closing ceremony.
