The Kent State Golden Flashes track and field team is the track and field program that represents Kent State University. The Golden Flashes compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Kent, Ohio, at the Kent State Outdoor Track.

The program is coached by Nathan Fanger. 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.

The team has won seven NCAA titles in the hammer throw and weight throw. Six of those were won by Jacques Accambray and Al Schoterman in the 1970s.
