Venezuela competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from 6 to 22 February 2026. It was Venezuela's first participation in the Winter Olympics since 2014. Its flagbearer and sole athlete, cross-country skier Nicolas Claveau-Laviolette, was born in Venezuela and raised in Canada. Qualifying two months before the Olympics, political unrest in Venezuela meant it was even later before he could renew his documents and register to compete.
