The team jumping event, part of the equestrian program at the 1996 Summer Olympics was held on 31 July and 1 August 1996 at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Georgia. The results of the second and third round of the individual jumping were used to award rankings. Like all other equestrian events, the competition was mixed gender, with both male and female athletes competing in the same division. Fourteen teams, each consisting of four horse and rider pairs, entered the contest.
