Indonesia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's fifteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics.
The National Sports Committee of Indonesia (Indonesian: Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia, KONI) confirmed a team of 28 athletes, 16 men and 12 women, to compete across seven sports at the Games. Three of them accepted their spots to compete in athletics and swimming through wild card entries, with the rest of the field directly qualifying for the Games on merit. Among the sporting events represented by the nation's competitors, Indonesia marked its Olympic debut in men's team archery and BMX cycling, as well as its return to rowing after 12 years.
The Indonesian roster featured ten returning Olympians, with only three of them headed to their third straight Games: badminton shuttler Lilyana Natsir, along with her partner Tontowi Ahmad, in the mixed doubles, and two-time bronze medalists Eko Yuli Irawan and Triyatno in weightlifting. Other notable Indonesian athletes also included Beijing 2008 champion Hendra Setiawan in the men's badminton doubles and long jumper and reigning Asian Games champion Maria Natalia Londa, who was appointed as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony.
Indonesia left Rio de Janeiro with three Olympic medals (one gold and two silvers), improving its stark medal tally from London four years earlier. Among the nation's medalists were badminton players Ahmad and Natsir, who both bounced back from their fourth-place finish in London to secure the mixed doubles gold, and weightlifting rookie Sri Wahyuni Agustiani, who handed Indonesia its first medal of the Games with a silver in the women's 48 kg. Meanwhile, Irawan set a historic milestone as the first Indonesian weightlifter to medal across three Olympic Games, upgrading his two bronzes to a silver in the men's 62 kg.
