The Memphis Tigers track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Memphis. The Tigers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the American Athletic Conference. The team is based in Memphis, Tennessee at the Billy J. Murphy Track & Soccer Complex.

The program is coached by Kevin Robinson. The track and field program officially encompasses four teams, as the NCAA regards men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.

In 2018, Luke Vaughn gave Memphis its first national track and field title since 1981 by winning the discus throw.

Postseason

As of 2024, a total of 29 men and 8 women have achieved All-American status at the men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships.
