AIN	from French Athlètes Individuels Neutres	2024, 2026	Used for Russian and Belarusian athletes competing as neutrals due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The delegation will use a flag and a one-off instrumental anthem assigned by the IOC.
ANZ		1908–1912	Used in the IOC's medal database to identify the team from Australasia, composed of athletes from both Australia and New Zealand for the 1908 and 1912 Games. Both nations competed separately by 1920.
COR	from French Corée	2018	Used for the unified Korean women's ice hockey team at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
EOR	from French Équipe olympique des réfugiés	2016–2024	Used for the Refugee Olympic Team, for athletes who have been displaced from their home countries. The IOC code was changed from ROT which was used in 2016.
EUA	from French Équipe unifiée d'Allemagne	1956–1964	Used in the IOC's medal database to identify the United Team of Germany, composed of athletes representing the NOCs of both East Germany and West Germany for the 1956–1964 Games. The team was simply known as Germany in the official reports for those six games at the time.
EUN	from French Équipe unifiée	1992	Used in 1992 (both Summer and Winter Games) for the Unified Team, composed of athletes from most of the former Soviet republics that chose to compete as a unified team. It also consisted of athletes in team sports such as Ice Hockey, Basketball, Handball, and so on. This was primarily due to the breakup of the old Soviet Union in late December of 1991 due to there being less than 7 weeks before the Albertville Games. The Unified Team qualified for the Olympics in competitions as the Soviet Union. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania entered separately in 1992, whereas Russia and eleven other post-Soviet nations competed independently for the first time in 1994 or 1996.
IOP		Template:Hlist	Used for independent Olympic participants at the 1992 Summer Olympics as a designation used for athletes from FR Yugoslavia who could not compete as a team due to United Nations sanctions.

IOP was also used during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi by Indian athletes due to the Indian Olympic Association suspension.
IOA		Template:Hlist	Used for Individual Olympic Athletes in 2000, a designation used for athletes from Timor-Leste before the formation of its NOC. IOA was used again in the 2012 Games, when it stood for Independent Olympic Athletes, comprising athletes from the former Netherlands Antilles and a runner from South Sudan. The Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee's membership from the IOC was withdrawn the previous year, and South Sudan had not yet formed an NOC at the time. IOA was used again in 2016 for athletes from Kuwait as a result of the suspension of its National Olympic Committee.
IOC		2010–2012	Used as the country code for Athletes from Kuwait, when the Kuwait Olympic Committee was suspended the first time, at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, the 2010 Asian Games and the 2011 Asian Winter Games; for the second suspension in 2015–2017, athletes from Kuwait were also competing in several international competitions under the IOC flag, but this time in the team of Individual Olympic Athletes (IOA), including (but not only) in the 2016 Summer Olympics.
MIX		2010–	Used as the country code for Mixed NOCs at the Youth Olympics.
OAR		2018	Used for Olympic Athletes from Russia competing as neutral athletes due to the state-sponsored doping scandal.
ROC	File:Russian Olympic Committee flag.png ROC from the abbreviation for Russian Olympic Committee	2020–2022	Used for Russian Olympic Committee athletes at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2022 Winter Olympics following the sanctions due to the state-sponsored doping scandal. The delegation used a flag depicting the logo of the Russian Olympic Committee.
XXB		1896–1904	Used in the IOC's medal database to identify medals won by mixed teams of athletes from multiple nations (such as the combination of France and Great Britain), a situation that happened several times in the Games of 1896, 1900, and 1904. Until 2021, the IOC used the code ZZX for mixed teams.Template:Efn In 2021, the code was changed to MIX, matching the code for mixed teams at the Youth Olympics. In 2024, the code was changed to XXB.

HNL	Template:Flag decoration Haudenosaunee	2022	The Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois), who invented the sport of lacrosse and which has spiritual significance to them, were initially denied a spot to compete at the 2022 World Games, despite the Haudenosaunee national team's placement at the 2018 World Lacrosse Championship, due to not having a recognized NOC and issues concerning other countries recognizing sovereignty; they were given a spot to compete after Ireland agreed to drop out of competition in a show of solidarity.
