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

The program is coached by Petros Kyprianou.[4] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[5]
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]
