The Oceanic island nation of Kiribati competed at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, United Kingdom from July 27 – August 12, 2012. This was the nation's third appearance at the Olympics.

Kiribati also planned to send two athletes to compete in boxing, but the nation failed to qualify.[1] Weightlifter David Katoatau, the oldest member of the contingent, reprised his role as Kiribati's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Kiribati did not win its first Olympic medal.
