The five-time Grand Slam singles champion has been selected for the Swiss squad to face Poland in the World Group play-off on April 18-19.
The former world number one must play in the women's team competition to become eligible to compete in Rio.
Hingis, 34, has not played Fed Cup since the 1998 final defeat to Spain.
Hingis now concentrates exclusively on doubles tennis, and is the current holder of the Australian Open mixed doubles title, with Leander Paes, and the Indian Wells and Miami women's doubles titles with Sania Mirza.
Hingis will be joined in the Swiss squad by Timea Bacsinszky, Stefanie Voegele and Viktorija Golubic. —BBC
