The 1937 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 Marquette Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and it took place 2–3 July. The women's meet was held separately at Trenton High School in Trenton, New Jersey, on 25 September.

The men's championships marked the first time (other than the 1936 United States Olympic trials) that the meet was held over two days.[1] In the women's competition, the 16-year-old athlete Claire Isicson, described as "unknown", won the 50 m and 100 m and finished 4th in the long jump.[2]
