The 1919 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.

The men's championships were held at the 13th Regiment Armory in Brooklyn, New York, and they took place March 8. Women's championships were not officially held until 1927.

At the championships, the "tiny speed marvel" Joie Ray won the 1000 yards by ten yards. The meet was so popular that thousands of late fans besieged the entry doors and were not able to attend.
