List of Pan American Games records in athletics

The Pan American Games is a quadrennial event which began in 1951.

The Panam Sports accepts only athletes who are representing one of the organisation's member states (most of which are within the Americas) and recognises records set at editions of the Pan American Games.

Cuban athlete Ana Fidelia Quirot and Mexican Graciela Mendoza are the only competitors to hold records in two separate events.

Quirot is the record holder over both 400 and 800 metres, while Mendoza holds the 10 and 20 kilometre walk records[citation needed].

Of the other countries, Brazil, Jamaica, and Mexico each have five records.
