List of LGBTQ Paralympians

There have been 80 modern Paralympians, at both the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games, who have identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, non-binary, queer, or who have openly been in a same-sex relationship. The first Paralympic Games in which an athlete now known to be LGBT+ competed was the 1984 Winter Paralympics.

Despite growing numbers of out LGBTQ Paralympians with each Summer Games in the 21st century, the media coverage of these athletes was significantly lower than the vastly growing coverage of LGBTQ Olympians, if present at all. Fusion suggested that besides low coverage causing a self-justifying lack of interest, there may be a failure to report on the intersection of Paralympians who are queer due to wider media treatment of Paralympians as disabled tropes and societal perceptions of disabled people as desexualised.

Like with LGBTQ+ Olympic athletes, there have been more openly queer Summer than Winter Paralympians. Unlike with Olympians, however, the number of out LGBTQ+ Winter Paralympians was, through 2022, largely stagnant rather than gradually increasing. Fusion suggested this may be related to the Winter Games being held in homophobic nations and greater fear among double marginalised LGBTQ+ Paralympians to be publicly out, with discrimination cited as a reason there are fewer out Paralympians than Olympians across both seasons despite significant prevalence of disability in the queer community. In 2026, with six out Winter Paralympians, magazine Out referred to the significant increase as making the Games "more queer than [they] had hoped".

The most decorated LGBT+ Para- and/or Olympian overall is British Paralympic equestrian Lee Pearson, with 17 medals including 14 golds. At least 48 LGBT+ Paralympians are medalists (60.00% of LGBT+ Paralympians), of which 27 have at least one gold medal (33.75%).
