The National Olympic Committee for Montenegro is the Montenegrin Olympic Committee. It was created in 2006 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 2007.

Montenegrin athletes have won medals on 22 occasions in five different sports as part of teams representing Yugoslavia or Serbia and Montenegro, but none yet as individual competitors.
