Cuba competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. 164 competitors, 111 men and 53 women, took part in 84 events in 15 sports.

Due to the hostilities in the US-Cuban relations, Cuban athletes were only allowed to travel to Atlanta following the permission of its local NOC, to avoid any possibility of defections.
