The 1943 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.
The men's edition was held at Downing Stadium in New York City, New York, and it took place 19–20 June. The women's meet was held separately at Lakewood High School in Lakewood, Ohio, on 15 August.
It was the first time in men's championships history that no meeting records were set (mostly due to World War II). In the women's competition, Stella Walsh led her Polish Olympic Women's Athletic Club to the team title by winning three events.
