The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and Lady Toppers track and field team is the track and field program that represents Western Kentucky University. The Hilltoppers and Lady Toppers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Conference USA. The team is based in Bowling Green, Kentucky, at the Charles M. Ruter Track and Field Complex.

The program is coached by Lee Wood. 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 Nick Rose is the only two-time NCAA champion for the program. He won the 3000 meters at the 1975 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships and 1976 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. The men's team was nationally ranked and won its 12th straight conference title in 1975.
