Judo at the 2016 Summer Paralympics

Qualification will be largely based on the world ranking list prepared by International Blind Sports Federation as of May 30, 2016. A total of 114 athletes will directly qualify through the ranking with only the top 9 men or top 6 women in each division, ensuring that each NPC is subjected to a limit of one judoka per division.

In addition, a quota place will be reserved in each weight category for the host nation, and a place will also be reserved for the NPC of the winners of each weight division at the 2014 IBSA World Championships. finally, the Bipartite Commission will also make one invite per weight division, to complete the field.
