Romania competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing, China from August 8 to August 24, 2008.

The Romanian delegation for Beijing was the smallest Romanian Olympic delegation since the 1989 Revolution.^[1] Romanians competed in 16 sports: athletics, archery, handball, gymnastics, wrestling, swimming, diving, weightlifting, fencing, table tennis, shooting, tennis, judo, boxing, kayak-canoeing, and rowing.^[1]
