      • The 1956 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 Bakersfield, California, and it took place 22–23 June. The women's meet was held separately at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 17-18 August while the pentathlon was held on 27 October in Pasadena, California.
      Both the men's and women's championships were held one week before their corresponding 1956 United States Olympic trials. At the men's meet, two world records were equaled (Bobby Morrow in the 100 m heats and Thane Baker in the 200 m on a curve) and one was set outright, by Jack Davis in the 110 m hurdles. In the women's competitions, four American records were broken despite the meets taking place so far before the 1956 Olympics.
