Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee (Slovak: Slovenský olympijský a športový výbor, SOŠV) is the National Olympic Committee representing Slovakia in the International Olympic Committee. It is based in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The Czechoslovak Olympic Committee is one of the oldest NOCs in the world, having been founded in 1899 as Bohemian Committee for the Olympic Games (Czech: Český výbor pro hry olympijské). It was transformed into the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee in 1919 and then both the Czech Olympic Committee and the Slovak Olympic Committee (Slovak: Slovenský olympijský výbor, SOV) was founded and reconstituted on 19 December 1992, and both NOCs were recognized on 20 January 1993. It is one of two successors of the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee (ČSOV) which dissolved on 27 March 1993. SOC was approved as the National Olympic Committee of Slovak Republic in Monte Carlo on 24 September 1993. In December 2018 it changed its name to the Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee.^[1]
