The 1947 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.
The men's edition was held at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, and it took place 3–4 July. The women's meet was held separately at Alamo Stadium in San Antonio, Texas, on 28-29 June.
At the men's championships, Steve Seymour set an American record in the javelin throw.[1] The women's competition featured the "big three" (as described then) of Alice Coachman, Stella Walsh, and Dorothy Dodson.[2]
