The 1971 DGWS Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 3rd annual Division for Girls' and Women's Sports-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate track and field events in the United States. They were contested May 14−15, 1971 in Cheney, Washington at the Woodward Field by host Eastern Washington University.

There were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981. The meet would be called the DGWS Championships until 1972, after which the DGWS changed its name to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).

With 28 schools competing, Texas Woman's University won the team title despite not winning any individual events. Individually, Chi Cheng Reel won three events for Cal Poly Pomona despite health questions and her legs being so sore entering the meet that it "hurt to walk". There were strong winds throughout and rain on the final day of competition which hindered performances.
