Solomon Islands competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, which were held from 26 July to 11 August 2024. The country's participation in Paris marked its eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1984. The athlete delegation of the country was composed of two people: Sharon Firisua in athletics and Isabella Millar in swimming. The Solomon Islands Athletics Federation also tried to qualify more athletics competitors for the games but they had already missed the deadline for submission. The delegation was supported by a collaboration between the Australian Government and the Australian Olympic Committee, which was made for the development of sport in Pacific nations.
Firisua and Millar qualified for the games after receiving universality slots in their events, which allows underrepresented nations to compete and for a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to send athletes despite not meeting the other qualification criteria. Firisua competed in the women's 100 metres but ran in a time not fast enough to progress into further rounds, though she set a personal best in the event. Millar then competed in the women's 50 metre freestyle and also did not progress further after not finishing with a fast enough time. Thus, Solomon Islands has yet to win an Olympic medal.
