Overall, 30 teams received at least one medal, the highest for any Winter Olympic Games thus far, with 22 of them winning at least one gold medal. Athletes from Norway won the most medals overall, with 39, surpassing the previous record of 37 medals set by the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Athletes from Germany and Norway tied for the most gold medals with 14 each, equaling the record set by Canada in 2010 for most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics, athletes were tied in three events. In the women's 10 km cross-country skiing, two bronze medals were awarded due to a tie. In the two-man bobsleigh, two gold medals and no silver medal were awarded due to a tie, while in the four-man bobsleigh, two silver medals and no bronze medal were awarded due to a tie. Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won the most medals at the games with five (two gold, one silver, and two bronze). With 15 total Olympic medals, she also became the most decorated athlete in Winter Olympics history.

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.

−1 | −1 | On 18 February 2018, it was reported that Russian curler Alexander Krushelnitskiy failed a doping test for meldonium. After testing of the B sample was also positive, the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed that they were instituting formal proceedings. On 22 February 2018, Krushelnitskiy and his partner Anastasia Bryzgalova were stripped of their bronze medals in the mixed doubles. The bronze medals were then awarded to the Norwegian mixed curling team, who had lost the bronze medal game to Krushelnitskiy and Bryzgalova. | ||
