The West German Indoor Athletics Championships (German: Deutsche Leichtathletik-Hallenmeisterschaften) was an annual indoor track and field competition organised by the German Athletics Association, which served as the national championship for the sport in West Germany.

[1][2] The following athletics events featured as standard on the West German Indoor Championships programme: Prior to 1980, the 60 metres was occasionally replaced by a 50 metres race.

Combined events were briefly held with a men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon featuring from 1973–75.

Racewalking was also an infrequent sport, with a men's 10,000 m walk being on the programme from 1969 to 1975.

Women did not compete in the triple jump or pole vault during the lifetime of the meeting.
