Lesotho competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games have been postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the nation's twelfth appearance at the Summer Olympics, with the exception of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, because of its partial support to the African boycott. The delegation included two track and field athletes; Khoarahlane Seutloali and Neheng Khatala. Both qualified for the Games by meeting qualification standards. The country was represented by a TOCOG volunteer as the flag bearer with both athletes following for the opening ceremony while Khatala held it at the closing ceremony. Lesotho, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal.
