The 1928 Winter Olympics, officially known as the II Olympic Winter Games (; ; ; ) and commonly known as St. Moritz 1928 (; ), was an international winter multi-sport event that was celebrated from 11 to 19 February 1928 in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The 1928 Games were the first true Winter Olympics to be held as a stand-alone event, not in conjunction with a Summer Olympics. The preceding 1924 Winter Games were retroactively renamed the inaugural Winter Olympics, although they had in fact been organised alongside the 1924 Summer Olympics in France. Before 1924, the winter events were included in the schedule of the Summer Games and there were no separate Winter Games. The 1928 Winter Games also replaced the now redundant Nordic Games, which had been held at varying intervals since early in the 20th century. The hosts were challenged by fluctuating weather conditions; the opening ceremony was held in a blizzard, while warm weather conditions plagued sporting events throughout the rest of the Games. The 10,000 metre speed-skating event was controversially abandoned and officially cancell

Los Juegos Olímpicos de 1928 fueron los primeros verdaderos Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno que se celebraron como un evento independiente, no en conexión con un Juegos Olímpicos de Verano. Los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de 1924 anteriores fueron renombrados retroactivamente como los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de invierno, aunque en realidad habían sido organizados junto a los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1924 en Francia. Antes de 1924, los eventos de invierno fueron incluidos en el calendario de los Juegos de Invierno y no hubo condiciones meteorológicas separadas.
