List of USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships winners (men)

The USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships is an annual outdoor competition in the sport of athletics organised by USA Track & Field, which serves as the national championship for the sport in the United States. The venue of the championships is decided on an annual basis and several events are hosted separately.

The earliest national champions were declared by the New York Athletic Club at their annual men's championships, starting in 1876. The National Association of Amateur Athletes of America was formed and organised the men's national championships from 1879 to 1888, followed by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) from 1888 to 1979. The men's and women's championships have been held jointly since 1976. Following professionalisation of the sport, the running of the national championships was taken over by The Athletics Congress of the USA (TAC) from 1980. TAC rebranded as USA Track & Field (USATF) in 1993. The national championships served as the United States Olympic Trials (track and field) in 1920, 1928, 1932, and from 1992 onwards. Olympic Trials were held separately in other years, and winners at the trial event were not declared national champions.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The national championships for cross country and road running are held separately from the main track and field competition.

Olympic Trials	The 1920, 1928, 1932, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 championships incorporated the Olympic Trials, otherwise held as a discrete event. 2020 OT: The 2020 Olympic Trials were delayed and held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Notes	Kenneth Churchill had the longest throw in the 1932 competition (which doubled as the Olympic Trials), ahead of Malcolm Metcalf. However, Churchill qualified for the final only due to a late rule change by the U.S. Olympic Committee, allowing eight rather than five finalists. As this rule change applied only to the Olympic Trials, Churchill is considered to have won at the Trials and Metcalf at the national championships, even though they were the same meet.
