The 1926 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.

The men's edition was held at Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it took place 2 July. The women's meet was held separately at the same venue on 9–10 July.

At the men's championships, an American record was set in the 3 miles walk. It was the first time that relays counted towards the team championships. In the women's competition, Lillian Copeland won the shot put, discus, and javelin.
