The Puerto Rico Olympic Committee (COPUR, Spanish: Comité Olímpico de Puerto Rico) is the National Olympic Committee for Puerto Rico. It oversees Olympic-sports in Puerto Rico, and selects the Olympic team which represents the island. It was founded by Julio Enrique Monagas,^[2] and was officially recognized in 1948.

COPUR operates the Casa Olímpica, its headquarters in Old San Juan.
