Switzerland competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. 102 competitors, 64 men and 38 women, took part in 82 events in 19 sports.

Sydney 2000 marked the first time the Swiss Olympic team competed in Australia as Switzerland and other European nations boycotted the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne due to the Soviet invasion of Hungary but Switzerland did take part in the Equestrian events at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Stockholm five months earlier.
