800 meters at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships

This is a list of the NCAA Division I indoor champions in the 800 meters or its imperial equivalent 880 yards. The imperial distance was run until 1983, while the metric distance was contested since 1984. The event was not held in 1986 and 1987. Hand timing was used until 1975, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used. In 1986 and 1987, the 1⁄10-mile track that the races were run on was 25 inches (640 mm) per lap short, making the actual race distance less than 800 meters those years.^[1][2]
