List of American universities with Olympic medals
The list of American universities with Olympic medals shows the number of Olympic medals won by students and alumni of American universities in Olympic Games up through 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. These athletes are not necessarily representing the United States in the Olympic Games. A large number of Olympic athletes competed in the Olympic games while they were university students in the United States. Notable examples include Michael Phelps of University of Michigan, Katie Ledecky of Stanford University, and Missy Franklin of UC Berkeley.
This list considers both summer and winter Olympic games, and only those who actually received Olympic medals are counted. Therefore, the list includes Olympic athletes only and excludes coaches, staff managers and so on. The National Collegiate Athletic Association division of a university for school year 2017–2018 is shown for comparison. A university with remarks "I" means the count might be incomplete due to the lack of reliable sources. In this list, universities are presented in descending order starting from those with the most Olympic medals.
In the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, the university with the most Olympic medals in the U.S. was Stanford University, followed by UC Berkeley and the University of Southern California ; the University of Florida and UT Austin tied for 4th place.
