The 1948 NCAA gymnastics championships were contested at the sixth annual National Collegiate Athletic Association-sanctioned men's gymnastics championships to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate gymnastics among its member programs in the United States.[1] Due to the interruption of sporting events caused by World War II, these were the first championships held since 1942.

The championships were hosted by the University of Chicago at Bartlett Gymnasium in Chicago, Illinois.[2] It was the location's 5th time hosting out of 6 total events, but following 1948 the championships would not return to Chicago until 2018.

Four-time defending champions Illinois, who won the last event in 1942, were bested by Gene Wettstone-led Penn State. It was the Nittany Lions' first team gymnastics championship.

The individual all-around championship was won by Ray Sorensen from Penn State.
