Two athletes from India participated in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Russia, held between 9 and 25 February 2018. The country's participation in Pyeongchang marked its twelfth appearance at the Winter Olympics since its debut in 1964.[a]

The nation made its first Winter Olympics appearance until the 1964 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck, Austria.[4] This edition of the Games marked the nation's twelfth appearance at the Winter Olympics.[a][5][6]
The Indian delegation consisted of chef de mission Harjinder Singh and two athletes, alpine skier Jagadish Singh and luger Shiva Keshavan. [7][8][9] Keshavan was the country's flag-bearer during the opening ceremony.[10] A volunteer served as the flag-bearer during the closing ceremony.[11][12]
