The 1906 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.

The men's championships were held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, and they took place November 9-10. Women's championships were not officially held until 1927.

At the championships, Martin Sheridan won three out of the five events he competed in on the first day of competition.

There was an indoor national championship athletics meet held at Madison Square Garden in 1888, and as a precursor to this meet selected events were contested as a national championship as part of other meetings in 1904. However, sports historians consider the 1906 edition to be the first "official" national indoor championships.
