The Illinois Fighting Illini track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

The program has won six national collegiate team titles, beginning at the 1921 NCAA Track and Field Championships and most recently at the 1970 DGWS Outdoor Track and Field Championships.[6][7]
