The 1952 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 Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach, California, and it took place 20–21 June. The women's meet was held separately at Municipal Stadium in Waterbury, Connecticut, on 29 June. The pentathlon was held on 5 October in Houston, Texas.

Both championships were held one week before their respective 1952 United States Olympic trials, with the exception of the men's 10,000 m which served as both the U.S. championships and Olympic selection event. There were winds up to 10 miles per hour (16 km/h) impacting the men's races and jumps. In the women's competition, Catherine Hardy became the first sprinter to win all three short sprints, sweeping the 50 m, 100 m, and 200 m.
