Brunei, as Brunei Darussalam, competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. Even though Brunei had made its debut at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, it skipped the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and has returned to the Summer Olympic Games in 1996. Also, despite one person, this is the first time of the appearance of athletes from Brunei at the olympics, unlike at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul where Brunei was represented by one swimming official.
