Le Olimpiadi del Bridge (World Team Olympiad) erano un torneo di bridge organizzato dalla World Bridge Federation, che si è svolto dal 1960 al 2004 dopodiché è stato soppiantato dai World Mind Sports Games.
Tradizionalmente le olimpiadi consistevano in due eventi: Open Teams event (torneo maschile) e Women's Teams event (torneo femminile). Dal 2000 era stato introdotto un terzo evento, Senior Teams Cup (torneo per giocatori che avessero superato i 55 anni d'età).
Ciascuna federazione nazionale era incaricata di selezionare un solo team per ciascun evento.
