The Air Force Falcons track and field team is the track and field program that represents United States Air Force Academy. The Falcons compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Air Force Academy, Colorado, at the Cadet Outdoor Track Complex.

The program is coached by Ryan Cole. 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.

Runner Jim Murphy won the first national title for the Falcons, finishing in a dead heat in the 5000 meters at the 1964 NCAA University Division track and field championships. It was the first dead heat finish in NCAA championships history.
