# List of North American records in athletics

The following are the subregional records in athletics in Northern America. This list includes the best marks set in an event by an athlete who competes for the World Athletics member federations Athletics Canada or USA Track & Field. All bests shown on this list are tracked by statisticians not officially sanctioned by a governing body. World Athletics maintains its official Area Records (continental records), in this case the North American, Central American and Caribbean records, which include the best marks set in an event by an athlete who competes for a member federation of the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association.
