The 1931 AAA Championships was the 1931 edition of the annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Amateur Athletic Association (AAA). It was held from 3 to 4 July 1931 at Stamford Bridge in London, England.

After 19 consecutive years at Stamford Bridge, it would be the last time that the venue hosted the championships. The Championships consisted of 24 events and covered two days of competition. The marathon was held from Windsor to Stamford Bridge.

The steeplechase event saw the number of hurdles standardised and the pole jump was renamed the pole vault.
