The 1907 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.

The men's championships were held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, and they took place October 25-26. Women's championships were not officially held until 1927.[1][2]

At the championships, Martin Sheridan set a world record in the pole vault despite being beaten in three other disciplines he had contested earlier.[3][4][5]
