Liberia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Olympics since its debut in 1956.
Four Liberian athletes were selected to the team, competing in athletics, and in judo for the first time. Among these athletes, American-born decathlete Jangy Addy only competed at his second consecutive Olympics. Sprinter Phobay Kutu-Akoi, a psychology graduate at the St. John's University in New York, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[2] Liberia, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal.

Liberia had 1 judoka invited, Liva Saryee.[5] However, Saryee did not compete, as he received a bye in the first round and did not start in the second round. It later transpired that Saryee had been proposed for selection by the national judo federation despite never having taken part in any judo competition and being unfamiliar with the rules of judo.[6]
