The Union of South Africa competed at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. 32 competitors, 27 men and 5 women, took part in 26 events in 6 sports.

Hurdler Sid Kiel, the holder of the South African record for the 110 metres hurdles, was selected in the South African delegation but boycotted to protest the antisemitism of the German government.

Two cyclists, both men, represented South Africa in 1936.
