The medal table of the 2026 Winter Paralympics will rank the participating National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) by the number of gold medals that are won by their athletes during the competition. The 2026 Paralympics will be the fourteenth Games to be held, a quadrennial competition open to athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities. The games will be held in Milan, Cortina d'Ampezzo, and other areas in Lombardy and Northeast Italy from 6 to 15 March 2026. There will be 79 medal events. A mixed doubles event made its debut in wheelchair curling. [1]

Brazil and Latvia both won the first-ever Winter Paralympic medal in their histories, with Cristian Ribera winning the silver medal in the Men's sitting cross-country skiing sprint, and Poļina Rožkova and Agris Lasmans winning the bronze in the mixed doubles curling respectively. [2] [3]

Ribera's medal was also the first in Winter Paralympic history won by a tropical, Latin American or South American National Paralympic Committee.
