Shot put at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships

This is a list of the NCAA Division I outdoor champions in the shot put. 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 was introduced in 1982.
