which are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as official Games. The IOC itself does not publish all-time tables, and publishes unofficial tables only per single Games. This table was thus compiled by adding up single entries from the IOC database. The results are attributed to the IOC country code as currently displayed by the IOC database. Usually, a single code corresponds to a single

The sum total of gold, silver, and bronze medals are not equal for the following reasons: * Some sports (such as boxing, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling) award or have previously awarded two bronze medals per competition. * Team sports medals, such as in football or basketball count as one, even if there are multiple players on each team, who get a medal. * Some tied performances have resulted in multiple medals of the same colour being awarded for an event. If this tie is for gold or silver, there will be a consequent absence of a silver or bronze medal for that event. * Some medals that have been revoked have not been re-awarded. * Some early events, such as cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics, had only two entrants. * Retroactively awarding gold, silver, and bronze medals for the 1896 and 1900 games results in some anomalies, such as the 100 metre freestyle swimming event in 1896 where no surviving records distinguish the places of those who finished between 3rd and 10th position.

Germany has competed under five different designations, including as two separate teams at several Games. Sources vary in how they present the medals won by these teams. The table below shows sourced combinations of these teams, when applied to the updated medal totals from the main table. A part of Germany, Saar, competed independently in the Summer Olympic games in 1952, but failed to win any medals. Due to most lists only listing medal counts, it's possible but not certain Saar was included as part of Germany in their calculations.
