The following are the national records in athletics for the Soviet Union. These records were maintained by the Soviet Athletics Federation during the country's existence until its dissolution in 1991. The Soviet Union coincided with a successful period in athletics for the region, resulting in many national records being world and European records as well. Athletes from the Republics of the Soviet Union were eligible for national records. Many of the records have been improved upon since by athletes from the post-Soviet states.
