Finland competed at the Summer Olympic Games for the first time at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. The Grand Duchy of Finland was part of the Russian Empire at the time, but Finland's results are kept separate from those of Russia.
Finland's best athletics result was Verner Järvinen's bronze medal in the Greek-style discus throw.
Finland was one of the most successful wrestling nations in 1908, with three of the four Finnish wrestlers medalling. The four amassed an 85% victory rate against opponents from other nations.
