The Nordic combined event at the 1992 Winter Olympics consisted of two athletic disciplines (ski jumping and cross-country skiing), held from 11 February to 17 February. The ski jumping portion and the 15 km cross-country portion of the Nordic Combined event were both held at Courchevel-le Praz. A temporary cross-country stadium was constructed in a field directly adjacent (east) to the Tremplin du Praz ski jump outrun. All other cross-country and Biathlon competitions were held at Les Saisies.

France and Japan, two nations that had never won a medal in Olympic Nordic combined, topped the medal table, each winning one gold, with the French adding a silver as well.

Participating NOCs

Twelve nations participated in Nordic combined at the Albertville Games. Estonia made their Olympic Nordic combined debut, and the Unified Team made their only appearance.
