The UNLV Rebels track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Rebels compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Myron Partridge Stadium.

The program is coached by Carmelita Jeter. 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.

The UNLV men's track team was cut following the 1981 season. Both indoor and outdoor track were cut along with women's volleyball and tennis under a plan by then-President Leonard Goodall. The men's team was coached by Al McDaniels.

Heptathlete Sheila Tarr won the program's first individual title in 1984. Her father Jerry Tarr had won NCAA titles for Oregon in 1962.
