1000 yards at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships

This is a list of the NCAA Division I indoor champions in the 1000 yards or its metric equivalent 1000 meters. The imperial distance was contested until 1983, while the 1000 meters was run for 4 years from 1984 to 1987 before the event was discontinued. In 1986 and 1987, the $1/10$-mile track in Oklahoma City was short by 25 in per lap, causing the actual race distance to be less than 1000 meters. Hand timing was used until 1975, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used.
