Djibouti competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, from July 27 to August 12, 2012. This was the nation's seventh appearance at the Olympics, except the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

Five athletes were selected to the team, competing only in athletics, judo, swimming, and table tennis (the last two sports marked its Olympic debut in London). Track runner Zourah Ali was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremonies. Djibouti, however, failed to win its first Olympic medal at these Games after the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.
