The javelin throw is one of four track and field throwing events at the Summer Olympics. The men's javelin throw was introduced to the Olympic athletics program in 1908, making it the last of the current throwing events to be included, following the shot put, discus throw, and hammer throw. The women's javelin throw debuted at the 1932 Olympics, becoming the second women's throwing event after the discus in 1928.

Two variants of the javelin throw have been part of the Olympic program: a freestyle version first appeared at the 1906 Intercalated Games and then at the 1908 London Olympics. Additionally, a unique two-handed version was held at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics.
