The Temple Owls track and field team is the track and field program that represents Temple University. The Owls compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the American Conference. The team is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Temple Sports Complex.
The program is coached by Eric Mobley (men) and Elvis Forde (women). The track and field program officially encompasses four teams, as the NCAA regards men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports. In 2014, the Temple Athletics board eliminated the men's track and field team but kept men's cross country running.
Travis Mahoney, who finished 5th at the 2019 Pan American Games, was called "the best track and field athlete in school history".
