The Eastern Michigan Eagles track and field team is the track and field program that represents Eastern Michigan University. The Eagles compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at the Olds/Marshall/Parks Track.

The program is coached by Sterling Roberts (men) and Chris Best (women). The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.

Hurdler Hayes Jones won an Olympic gold medal in the 110 m hurdles in 1964 and a bronze in 1960 following winning both the 220 yards hurdles and the sprint hurdles for Eastern Michigan at the 1959 NCAA Track and Field Championships. 1976 Olympic 100 m champion Hasley Crawford also competed for the Eagles, winning the 60 yards at the 1975 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships and 100 yards at the 1975 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. 800 m NCAA champion Earl Jones won the 1984 Olympic bronze medal over the same distance, while Eagles sprinters Savatheda Fynes and Clement Chukwu both won Olympic gold medals in relays at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
