The UNLV Rebels track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Rebels compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Myron Partridge Stadium.[2]

The program is coached by Carmelita Jeter.[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4]

The UNLV men's track team was cut following the 1981 season. Both indoor and outdoor track were cut along with women's volleyball and tennis under a plan by then-President Leonard Goodall.[5] The men's team was coached by Al McDaniels.[6]

Heptathlete Sheila Tarr won the program's first individual title in 1984. Her father Jerry Tarr had won NCAA titles for Oregon in 1962.[7]

As of August 2025, a total of 27 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status for the team at the Division I men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships (using the modern criteria of top-8 placing regardless of athlete nationality). No men achieved All-American status before the team was dropped by the 1982 season.[9][10]
