Syria made its Paralympic Games début at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta, with two representatives: Ahmad Manfi in table tennis, and Ali Ismail in swimming. The country has participated in every subsequent edition of the Summer Paralympics, but has never entered the Winter Paralympics.

Syria won its first and so far only Paralympic medal when Rasha Alshikh took bronze in powerlifting, in the women's up to 67.5 kg category, in 2004, lifting 117.5 kg.
