The 1967 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were held at the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Arena in Oakland, California. Organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), the competition took place on March 3-4 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.^[1]

At the championships, Bob Seagren attempted the pole vault world record of 17 ft 7 in (5.35 m) but didn't clear the height. His failure was blamed on the short runway, forcing Seagren to start his run-ups on the banked track. Bob Gaines won the men's 60 yards, which he did while borrowing the running spikes of Wyomia Tyus. The attendance was considered light, at only 5,264 people though tickets cost as much as $6.^[2]

The women's championships marked the first time that the mile run was contested. The men's championships added the triple jump for the first time.^[3][4]
