The National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (Pashto: د افغانستان د اسلامي جمهوریت د المپیک ملي کمیټه, Dari: کمیته ملی المپیک جمهوری اسلامی افغانستان, IOC code: AFG), formerly known as Afghanistan National Olympic Committee (Pashto: کمیته ملی المپیک افغانستان, Dari: کمیته ملی المپیک افغانستان), is the National Olympic Committee representing Afghanistan. The Committee is currently in exile and presided by Hafizullah Wali Rahimi. The Taliban regime established a rival committee, known as General Directorate of Olympics, Physical Education and Sports (Pashto: د المپیک، فزیکي زده کړو او سپورت عمومي ریاست, Dari: ریاست عمومی المپیک، تربیت بدنی و ورزش), following their takeover of the country in 2021, which has not been recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
