The 1974 AIAW Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 6th annual Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate track and field events in the United States. They were contested May 17−18, 1974 in Denton, Texas by host Texas Woman's University. There were not separate AIAW Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981.

84 schools participated. Prairie View A&M University, which was said to have a well-rounded team, won over the University of California Los Angeles which relied on distance running strength. Jamaica's Andrea Bruce competed in four events and won three of them for Prairie View, while Francie Larrieu won the half-mile, mile, and 2-mile runs and ran on UCLA's relay team.
