    The Unified Team at the 1992 Winter Olympics (Russian: Объединенная команда на Зимних Олимпийских играх 1992) in Albertville was a joint team consisting of five of the fifteen former Soviet republics: Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Uzbekistan that made a decision to collaborate and created a united team.[1] The Unified Team's only other appearance was at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. It competed under the IOC country code EUN (from the French Equipe Unifiée).

    The team finished second in the medal rankings, narrowly losing to a re-unified Germany.
