The 1981 AIAW Indoor Track And Field Championships, also known as the EAIAW Indoor Track and Field Championships, were the 4th annual Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate indoor track and field events in the United States. They were contested March 13−14, 1981 in Pocatello, Idaho at the ASISU Minidome and won by the Virginia Cavaliers track and field team.[1]

Unlike other AIAW-sponsored sports, there were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for indoor track and field. At the championships, Merlene Ottey set a world record in the indoor 300 meters.[2]
