Ono što je Liga prvaka za nogomet, NBA za košarku, Wimbledon za tenis, a UFC za MMA, to je Mr. Olympia za bodybuilding. Mr. Olympia je međunarodno godišnje natjecanje u muškom bodybuildingu koje održava Internacionalna Federacija za bodybuilding i fitness (IFBB), a pobjeda na njemu se smatra najvećim uspjehom u profesionalnom bodybuildingu.
Joe Weider je kreirao natjecanje kako bi omogućio nositeljima naslova Mr. Universe da se nastave natjecati i zarađivati novac. Prvi Mr. Olympia održan je 18. rujna 1965. u Brooklynskoj Akademiji glazbe u New Yorku gdje je Larry Scott osvojio jedan od svoja dva naslova. Rekord u broju naslova drže Lee Haney (1984 – 1991) i Ronnie Coleman (1998 – 2005), obojica imaju po osam naslova. Film Pumping Iron (1977) prikazuje nastanak Mr. Olympie u Pretoriji, južnoj Africi i pomogao je lansirati glumačke karijere Arnolda Schwarzeneggera i Loua Ferrigna. Postoji i kruna u ženskom bodybuildingu, Miss Olympia. Također postoje i Fitness Olympia i Figure Olympia za natjecateljice fitnesa i figure. Sva četiri natjecanja održavaju se istog vikenda.
