The 1974 Mississippi Indoors, also known by its full name Mississippi International Indoor Tennis Championships, was a men's tennis tournament played on indoor carpet courts at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Mississippi in the United States that was part of the 1974 USLTA Indoor Circuit. It was the second edition of the tournament and was held from March 20 through March 24, 1974.[3] Second-seeded Sandy Mayer won the singles title after defeating first-seeded Karl Meiler in the final. Mayer was still an amateur and therefore not entitled to receive first-prize money.[4][5]
