This is a list of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field champions in the javelin throw. Measurements were conducted in imperial distances (feet and inches) until 1975. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were measured in metric distances. In 1986, international javelin design regulations were changed and the center of gravity of the implement moved forward. As a result, throwing distances were in general shorter, flat landings fewer, and legal throws (tip-down) easier to attain post-1985. The women's event began in 1982.
