List of multiple Olympic gold medals over career

This is a list of multiple Olympic gold medalists, listing people who have won three or more Olympic gold medals. Medals won in the 1906 Intercalated Games are not included.

When an athlete has won medals for more than one nation, for simplicity only the last nation he or she represented is mentioned here. The Olympics listed for each athlete only include games when they won medals. See the particular article on the athlete for more details on when and for what nation an athlete competed.

More medals are available in some events than others, and the number of events in which medals are available overall have changed over time.
