Angola competed at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta, United States. It was the country's first ever participation at the Paralympic Games, as the lengthy Angolan Civil War continued. It was represented by two athletes, who both competed in men's track and field events, without winning a medal.[1]
