Iceland made its Winter Paralympic Games début at the 1994 Winter Paralympics in Lillehammer. The country sent only one competitor, who took part in ice sledge speed racing. He did not win a medal.

Iceland was then absent from the Winter Paralympics for sixteen years (until 2010), although it participated in every edition of the Summer Paralympics in the interval.
