NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships – Men's 100 meter dash

This is a list of the NCAA outdoor champions in the short sprint event. Generally that was the 100 yard dash until 1975, with the metric 100 meters being contested in Olympic years starting in 1932. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were at the metric distance. Hand timing was used until 1973, starting in 1974 fully automatic timing was used.
