The Eritrean National Olympic Committee (Tigrinya: ሃገራዊ ኮሚቴ ኦሎምፒክ ኤርትራ; IOC code: ERI) is the National Olympic Committee representing Eritrea. It was created in 1996 and recognised by the International Olympic Committee in 1999.[1][2][3]

Eritrea made its debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney where it sent three athletes to compete in track and field events. In the 2018 Winter Games, athlete Shannon-Ogbani Abeda represented the country in skiing.[4]
