The List of Paralympic medalists in boccia is a comprehensive record of all athletes who have won medals in boccia since its introduction at the 1984 Summer Paralympics in Stoke Mandeville/New York. Boccia, a precision ball sport similar to bowls or pétanque, is contested by athletes with severe physical disabilities across multiple classification categories—BC1, BC2, BC3 and BC4—in individual, pairs and team events. The list is organized chronologically, detailing medal winners for each event by year and classification. It highlights dominant nations—such as South Korea, Great Britain and Thailand—and notable athletes like Grigorios Polychronidis and Cristina Gonçalves. The article offers a clear, at-a-glance overview of medal trends and champions in Paralympic boccia history.
