Latvia competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was the nation's eighth consecutive appearance at the Games and twelfth overall in Summer Olympic history.

After finishing with no medals five years ago, Latvia returned to winning ways and returned with two medals from Tokyo, with one of them being gold.
