Die '''Olimpiese Somerspele 1968''' ([[Spaans]]: ''Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1968''), amptelik bekend as die '''Spele van die XIXde Olimpiade''', is tussen 12 en 27 Oktober 1968 in [[Meksikostad]], [[Meksiko]], aangebied. Naas Meksikostad het [[Detroit]], [[Buenos Aires]] en [[Lyon]] aansoek gedoen om die Spele te mag organiseer. Dit was die eerste Olimpiese Spele wat in 'n ontwikkelende land, [[Latyns-Amerika]] en 'n Spaanstalige land gehou is asook die eerste Spele waar meer as 100 nasies deelgeneem het.

[[Lêer:John Carlos, Tommie Smith, Peter Norman 1968cr.jpg|duimnael|links|upright|Tommie Smith en John Carlos toon die Swartmag-saluut]]
Die beslissing van die [[Internasionale Olimpiese Komitee]] tydens sy kongres in [[Baden-Baden]] in 1963 om die Spele aan Meksikostad toe te wys, het vir heelwat onstuimigheid in die sportwêreld gesorg. Verskeie medici en afrigters vrees dat die hoë ligging van die stad dramatiese gevolge kan hê. Onni Niskanen, die [[Swede|Sweedse]] afrigter van [[Abebe Bikila]] beweer selfs dat atlete kan sterf. As gevolg van die beslissing doen wetenskaplikes navorsing oor die probleem. Daar word bevind dat dissiplines waar uithouvermoë belangrik is, nie normaal kon verloop nie as gevolg van 'n [[suurstof]]gebrek. Naellopers, daarteen sou baat vind by die verlaagde [[lugweerstand]]. Daar word voorgestel dat atlete 'n lang aanpassingsperiode gegun word om by die omstandighede aan te pas. Uiteindelik verloop die Spele sonder enige ernstige mediese insidente.

1968 was die jaar van die studentenrewolusies, en dit was ook die geval in Meksiko. Voor die begin van die Spele vind 'n studenteopstand in Meksiko plaas om wêreldwye aandag op die klimaat in Meksiko te vestig. Die regering bring hierdie opstand hardhandig tot 'n einde, wat onder andere lei tot die [[Bloedbad van Tlatelolco]]. Verder was daar nog 'n ander probleem wat die Spele ontwrig het: Die [[Afro-Amerikaners|Afro-Amerikaanse]] atlete begin 'n protesbeweging in die Olimpiese dorp teen die [[rassediskriminasie]] waarvan hulle in hul eie land slagoffers was. 'n Insident vind tydens die medaljeseremonie na die 200&nbsp;meter plaas. [[Tommie Smith]] en [[John Carlos]], onderskeidelik eerste en derde, staan tydens die speel van die Amerikaanse [[volkslied]] met gebalde vuiste en geboë hoofde (die [[Swartmag-saluut]]). Na die voorval word die twee uit die Olimpiese dorp geskop.

Die [[Olimpiese Winterspele 1968]] is in [[Grenoble]], [[Frankryk]], aangebied. Die [[Paralimpiese Somerspele 1968]] is tussen 4 en 13 November in [[Tel Aviv]], [[Israel]], gehou.
