The 1979 AIAW Indoor Track And Field Championships, officially known as the Missouri National Invitational Women's Indoor Championships, were the 2nd 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, 1979 in Columbia, Missouri at the Hearnes Multipurpose Building and won by the Iowa State Cyclones track and field team.

[1] 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, though it was called a "de-facto" championships until then.

[2][3] At the championships, Themis Zambrzycki was noted for winning all but one of the events in the new indoor pentathlon event.
