The 1978 AIAW Indoor Track And Field Championships, officially known as the Missouri National Invitational Women's Indoor Championships, were the first Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate indoor track and field events in the United States.

They were contested March 17−18, 1978 in Columbia, Missouri at the Hearnes Multipurpose Building and won by the Wisconsin Badgers track and field team.

[2] Unlike other AIAW-sponsored sports, there were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for indoor track and field.

Held for the first two years as an invitational, the meet gained its official national championship status in 1980.

[3][1] At the championships, Sheila Calmese broke the American indoor record in the 300 yards, splitting 35.26 seconds.
