Papua New Guinea sent a team to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. The country's participation, in part, was funded by a large "nationwide fun run" organised in early July, with expectations of 35,000 participating runners. Papua New Guinea was represented by a total of seven athletes.
Papua New Guinea qualified one boxer for the Olympic boxing tournament. Jack Willie qualified in the light flyweight class at the Oceania Championships.
