Mali competed at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's twelfth appearance at the Olympics, it was not represented at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal because of the African boycott.
As no Malian teams qualified for the team events, Mali sent its smallest delegation to the Games after the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Six Malian athletes, 4 men and 2 women, were selected to the team to compete in 4 sports. Hurdler Rahamatou Drame, who competed at her first Olympic games, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
Mali, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal. Taekwondo jin and double-time world heavyweight champion Daba Modibo Keita missed out of the nation's historic Olympic record, after he withdrew from the bronze medal tournament because of the injuries he had sustained.
