High jump at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships

This is a list of the NCAA outdoor champions in the high jump. Measurement was conducted in imperial distances (feet and inches) until 1975. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were measured in metric distances. The women's event began in 1982.
