The 1947 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.
The men's edition was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, and it took place February 22. There was no corresponding women's edition that year.[1] [2]
1947 was the last year that a men's championships were held without a corresponding women's meet; in all years since, both men's and women's championships were always held. At the championships, Gil Dodds of Boston won the mile in 4:12.7 by 20 yards. About 15,000 spectators attended.[3]
