Algeria sent a delegation to compete at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, held between 12 and 28 February 2010. The country's participation at Vancouver marked its third appearance at a Winter Olympics since its debut in 1992. The delegation consisted of a single cross-country skier, Mehdi-Selim Khelifi. Khelifi competed in the 15 kilometre freestyle event, and finished in 84th place.
Vancouver 2010 marked the first time the Algerian Olympic team competed in Canada as Algeria and other nations boycotted the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal due to the IOC's refusal to ban New Zealand.
