The 38-year-old Welshman, who won the 2018 Tour de France, was not selected for the five-rider team for the men's road race or for individual time trial events because of his poor form.
"In his time-trialling, he's not been in great form in our view," British Cycling's performance director Stephen Park told The Guardian.
Thomas has participated in four Olympic Games and won gold in the team pursuit in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012.
Thomas's absence follows that of another British track cyclist, Katie Archibald, who will miss the Olympics after breaking her leg in a freak accident this month.
