The world record for the 60 metres hurdles is recognised by World Athletics, the governing body for the sport of athletics, for both men and women. The event is recognised in indoor settings only. The current men's record is 7.27 A seconds, set by the USA's Grant Holloway on 16 February 2024 in Albuquerque. The current women's record is held by The Bahamas’s Devynne Charlton, who ran 7.65 seconds in Glasgow on 3 March 2024 and in Toruń on 22 March 2026.
The governing body have officially ratified world indoor records since 1 January 1987. Previous to this, they were regarded as world indoor bests; as such, the existing world indoor bests were deemed to be the inaugural world indoor records.
