'''[[Zimbabwe]]''' (abbreviated '''ZIM''') has competed in eleven [[Commonwealth Games]] starting from the second games in [[1934 British Empire Games|1934]]: first as [[Southern Rhodesia]], then as part of [[Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland|Rhodesia and Nyasaland]], then as [[Zimbabwe]]. [[Rhodesia]] with a white-dominated government under [[Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence|UDI]] was suspended from 1966 to 1978.

Zimbabwe boycotted the games in [[1986 Commonwealth Games|1986]], along with 31 other nations, in protest of Britain's reluctance to sanction [[apartheid South Africa]].<ref name=thestandard>{{cite web |title=Zimbabwe's Commonwealth curse |url=https://www.thestandard.co.zw/2014/07/16/zimbabwes-commonwealth-curse/ |website=The Standard |access-date=5 March 2020 |date=16 July 2014}}</ref>
