The 1927 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.

The men's edition was held at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, and it took place 2–4 July. The women's meet was held separately at Allbee Stadium in Eureka, California, on 3 September.

At the men's championships, world records were set in both heats of the 4 × 110 yards relay. A medley shot put and weight throw for height event were also held. The medley shot put consisted of throwing 8 lb, 12 lb, and 16 lb shots and adding the places in each competition, with the lowest score winning.[1][2] In the women's competition, six American records were set.[3]
