Special Olympics és una organització esportiva que s'encarrega d'organitzar entrenaments i competicions per a nens i adults amb discapacitat intel·lectual i discapacitat física durant tot l'any.^[1]

Aquests jocs abasten 5 milions d'esportistes i socis esportius de 173 països. Les competicions olímpiques especials se celebren cada dia, a tot el món, incloses competicions locals, nacionals i regionals, sumant més de 100.000 esdeveniments a l'any.^[2][3]

Igual que el Comitè Paralímpic Internacional (IPC), els Special Olympics són reconeguts pel Comitè Olímpic Internacional (COI). A diferència dels Jocs Paralímpics, els Jocs Mundials Olímpics Especials no se celebren el mateix any ni conjuntament amb els Jocs Olímpics.^[4]

L'organització va ser fundada per Eunice Kennedy Shriver el 1968-1969.^[5]
