Lebanon sent a delegation to compete at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from 12–28 February 2010. This was Lebanon's 15th appearance at a Winter Olympic Games. The Lebanese team consisted of three alpine skiers. Lebanon has never won a medal at a Winter Olympics, and their best performance in Vancouver was 37th in the women's super-G by Chirine Njeim; Ghassan Achi failed to post a result in either of his races, and Jacky Chamoun finished 54th in her only race.

The Lebanese Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1947.[1] The Lebanese have sent delegations to most Summer Olympics and Winter Olympic Games since then, missing the Summer Olympics only once, in 1956, and the Winter Olympics twice, in 1994 and 1998.[2] The Lebanese delegation to Vancouver consisted of three alpine skiers; one man, Ghassan Achi and two women, Jacky Chamoun and Chirine Njeim.[3] Njeim was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, while Achi was chosen to carry the flag for the closing ceremony.[4][5]
