The 1933 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 Northwestern Stadium in Chicago, Illinois, and it took place 30 June-1 July. The women's meet was also held in Chicago, but at Soldier Field on 30 June. Aside from the 1926 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, it was the only time the men's and women's championships were held in the same city until 1976.

At the men's championships, world records were set in the 110 m hurdles by John Morriss and in the 200 m hurdles by Heye Lambertus.[1] In the women's competition, Louise Stokes became the first Black American woman to win the championships, taking first place in the 50 m.[2]
