Individual Neutral Athletes at the 2024 Summer Olympics
Individual Neutral Athletes is the name used to represent approved Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Summer Olympics, after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned the nations' previous designations due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The IOC country code is AIN, after the French name Athlètes Individuels Neutres.

The delegation is banned from using the neutral Olympic flag and Olympic anthem, and will instead use a flag depicting a circular AIN emblem and a one-off instrumental anthem, both assigned by the IOC. Individual neutral athletes must be approved by each sport's international federation, but an international federation has the discretion not to approve any athletes in their sport. As individual athletes, the delegation will not take part in the parade of nations during the opening ceremony, nor be listed as a delegation on official medal tables.
While the flag uses the singular wording "Individual Neutral Athlete", the IOC uses the plural wording "Individual Neutral Athletes" in prose.
