3000 meters at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships

This is a list of the NCAA Division I outdoor champions in the 3000 meters event or its imperial equivalent two miles. The two miles was a men's event contested from 1921 to 1958, though it was replaced by the 5000 meters in post-1936 Olympic years until its discontinuation after 1958. The women's 3000 meters was part of the program since the inception of women's events in 1982 until the event was removed after the 2000 season. In 2001, the 3000 meter steeplechase was introduced into the women's program. Hand timing was used throughout the duration of the two miles, while automatic timing was used for the 3000 meters.
