France at the 1920 Summer Olympics

France sent eight archers in its third Olympic archery appearance, all of whom won at least three medals. The team ended up with one gold medal, four silvers, and a bronze. Because of the lack of competition, the team's worst possible result would have been five silvers and a bronze; thus, Brulé's victory over Belgium's van Innis in the individual moving bird at 50 metres to take the gold medal was the only actual success the team had.

15 boxers represented France at the 1920 Games. It was the nation's second appearance in boxing. The team won three medals, including one of each type, after four of the 15 men advanced to the semifinals. The two French featherweight boxers faced off in the finals, taking gold and silver. The bronze came in the heavyweight class. France, which had not won a single bout in 1908, took fourth place on the boxing medals leader board.

Thirteen cyclists represented France in 1920. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport. After a disappointing result in 1912, the French road cyclists had a better Games in 1920. The four-man team took the gold medal in the team time trial, on the strength of three top-10 individual performances including Canteloube's individual bronze. The track cyclists were unable to take a medal, with highlights including Lanusse reaching the semifinals of the sprint and Alancourt taking eighth in the 50 kilometres.

Twenty-four equestrians represented France in 1920. It was the nation's third appearance in the sport, having been one of three countries (along with Belgium and the United States) to have appeared at each Olympic equestrian competition. For the first time, France earned no gold medals in equestrian. The best results for the country were in vaulting with a pair of silvers, one by Field in the individual and one by the team in combined score.

Eighteen fencers represented France in 1920. It was the nation's fourth appearance in the sport, and first since 1908. France, as usual, had a strong performance in the sport. The French épéeists swept the individual medals for the second time (having accomplished the feat in 1908 as well), and the foilists took a silver and a bronze. France took a medal in each of the three team events, but won no more gold medals. The team's eight total medals were the most of any nation in 1920, and the gold medal in the épée made France one of only two nations to win any golds (Italy took the other five).

France competed in field hockey for the second time. The team took fourth place in the four-team round robin, losing to each of the other three teams.

France competed in the Olympic football tournament for the third time. After receiving a bye into the quarterfinals, France defeated Italy to move into the semifinals. The team was defeated there by Czechoslovakia. Under the Bergvall System in use for the tournament, France would still have the opportunity to play for the silver medal; however, the team left Belgium after their semifinal loss and did not play in the tournament for second place.

France competed in the inaugural Olympic ice hockey tournament. The team received a bye into the semifinals, but was defeated by Sweden there. Under the Bergvall System in place at the time, Sweden's losses in the gold medal final and the silver medal semifinals meant that France played no further; a far different fate from the other semifinal loser—the United States, who won the silver medal.

Ten tennis players, seven men and two women, competed for France in 1920. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport, tied with Great Britain for the most of any country. Lenglen won the women's singles gold, not losing a single game until her fourth match and not losing any of her ten sets. Lenglen also paired with Décugis to take the gold in the mixed pairs, and added a bronze medal in the women's pairs with D'Ayen. Décugis and Albarran won the bronze in the men's pairs, beating Blanchy and Brugnon in the bronze medal match.
