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

This is a list of the NCAA Division I indoor champions in the 600 yards or its metric equivalent 500 meters. The imperial distance was run until 1983, and the 500 meters was contested for only three years from 1984 to 1987 before the event was discontinued. The 1986 and 1987 races were reported to have been shorter than 500 meters, as the track was 25 in per lap short in 1986. Hand timing was used until 1975 and in 1980, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used.
