The 1924 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 Colgate Field, Newark Athletic Country Club in West Orange, New Jersey, and it took place 5–7 September. The women's meet was held separately at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 20 September.

The meeting was separate from the 1924 United States Olympic trials, which were held earlier on 13–14 June in Massachusetts.[1] At the men's championships, meet records were broken in the high jump, pole vault, discus and javelin.[2] In the women's competition, Frances Ruppert repeated as 100 yards champion.[3]
