France competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. ^[3] French athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, alongside Australia, Great Britain, Greece, and Switzerland. As Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympics, France was the penultimate nation to enter the stadium, alongside the United States which will host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, before the host country Japan during the parade of nations at the opening ceremony. Additionally, a French segment was performed in Paris and some pre-recorded events at the closing ceremony as performers did not travel to Tokyo due to the travel restrictions related to the pandemic. However, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo was the only delegation present at the ceremony.

France competed in all sports except baseball (softball), field hockey, and water polo.

France repeated its gold medal tally from the previous games, but its overall medal haul was down from 42 to 33, the lowest since Athens 2004. The country however scored numerous victories in team sports, namely a double in handball (both men and women won gold), gold in men's volleyball, silver in men's basketball and women's rugby sevens, and bronze in women's basketball.

France fielded a full squad of seven artistic gymnasts (three men and four women) into the Olympic competition, failing to send the men's all-around team for the first time since 1992. The women's squad topped the list of nine nations eligible for qualification in the team all-around to assure its Olympic berth at the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. ^[51] On the men's side, two-time Olympian Cyril Tommasone, his Rio 2016 teammate Samir Aït Saïd, and rookie Loris Frasca booked their spots in the individual all-around and apparatus events at the same tournament, with Tommasone finishing sixth in the pommel horse final and Aït Saïd capturing the bronze in the rings. ^[52]

France entered six athletes into the table tennis competition at the Games. The men's team secured a berth by advancing to the quarterfinal round of the 2020 World Olympic Qualification Event in Gondomar, Portugal, permitting a maximum of two starters to compete in the men's singles tournament. ^[91] Moreover, an additional berth was awarded to the French table tennis players competing in the inaugural mixed doubles based on the ITTF World Rankings of 1 May 2021. 16-year-old teen Prithika Pavade and Chinese-born Yuan Jia Nan scored a second-match final triumph each to book two of the four available places in the women's singles at the 2021 European Qualification Tournament in Odivelas, Portugal. ^[92] On 9 June 2021, ITTF granted a spare berth forfeited by North Korea to the French women's table tennis team, as the next highest-ranked eligible nation in the federation's World Rankings.

The men's table tennis team was officially named as part of the nation's tenth batch of nominated athletes for the Games on 26 May 2021, including Rio 2016 Olympians Emmanuel Lebesson and Simon Gauzy. ^{[28] [93]}
