Singapore competed at the 1956 Summer Olympics held in Melbourne, Australia. While still a colony, fifty-two competitors were sent to participate across six sports. This was the third time Singapore had participated in the Summer Olympics and they won no medals. Most of the athletes did not advance past the qualifying rounds of their sports, with weightlifter Tan Ser Cher being the only Singaporean athlete to finish in the top ten.
