Gymnastics at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo will be held in three categories: artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and trampolining. All gymnastics events will be staged at the Olympic Gymnastic Centre, Tokyo Bay between 25 July and 5 August 2020.

The programme for 2020 remains unchanged from 2016, despite an application from the FIG for the admission of a new parkour based event. The application had proved contentious with specialist parkour or freerunning organisations lobbying for the sport not to be included, and to be recognized as an entirely separate sport from gymnastics.

Originally planned as a temporary venue, in 2016 the Tokyo 2020 authorities confirmed the Olympic Gymnastic Centre would become a permanent venue, functioning as a convention centre after the Games. Prior to its refurbishment, the venue is also expected to host the Boccia event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics.

Qualification
The qualification pathway for the 2020 was significantly overhauled and modified from 2016. The men's and women's team events in artistic gymnastics were reduced from 5 members per team to 4, while further allocations were available for up to two specialists.

Participating nations
Japan, as the host country, receives a guaranteed spot, in case it were not to earn one by the regular qualifying methods.
