1896 Summer Olympics medal count

This is the full table of the medal count of the 1896 Summer Olympics. These rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silvers is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC.

Note that in 1896, no national teams existed as we know them now. Therefore, teams composed of athletes from different countries were possible.
