Israel has participated at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This was the fifth time Israel took part in the Winter Olympics.
Three athletes represented Israel in the 2010 Olympics, two in figure skating and one in alpine skiing. All three have also competed for Israel at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Mykhaylo Renzhyn was the lone Israeli competitor, in the men's giant slalom and men's slalom events.
Israel has qualified 1 entrant in ladies singles and 1 in ice dancing, for a total of 3 athletes. However, the Olympic Committee of Israel decided on January 24, 2010, to send only Alexandra Zaretsky and Roman Zaretsky in the ice dancing event, and not send Tamar Katz for the ladies event, because she failed to reach the criteria set by Israel NOC.
