Ukraine competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics in the post-Soviet era.
The following is the list of number of competitors participating in the Games. Note that reserves in fencing (3 competitors for Ukraine) are counted as athletes in the table:
One Ukrainian archer qualified each for the men's individual recurve by obtaining one of the eight Olympic places available from the 2015 World Archery Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark. Three Ukrainian archers qualified for the women's events by virtue of the nation's podium finish in the team recurve competition at the 2016 Archery World Cup meet in Antalya, Turkey.
Ukrainian athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):
Ukraine has qualified two badminton players for each of the following events into the Olympic tournament. Artem Pochtarev and Marija Ulitina were selected among the top 34 individual shuttlers each in the men's and women's singles based on the BWF World Rankings as of 5 May 2016.
Ukraine has entered five boxers to compete in each of the following weight classes into the Olympic boxing tournament. With the top seed Nicola Adams of Great Britain advancing to the semifinals at the World Championships, Tetyana Kob earned an Olympic spot as a result of her third-place finish at the 2016 European Qualification Tournament in Samsun, Turkey.
On June 16, 2016, Dmytro Mytrofanov received a spare Olympic berth as the next highest-ranked boxer, not yet qualified, in the middleweight division of the AIBA Pro Boxing Rankings, after Turkey's Adem Kılıçcı was suspended for failing the re-tested doping sample on steroids from London 2012.
