Athletics was one of the sports held at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. As a founding sport, athletics had appeared consistently since its introduction at the 1911 Inter-Empire Games, the recognized precursor to the Commonwealth Games.

Out-of-stadium events were dropped for this edition, but the Games saw the reintroduction of the mile race, branded as the Commonwealth Mile for both sexes, to link to the strong tradition of mile running and races in the Commonwealth and previous Commonwealth Games, as well as the introduction of a mixed 4 x 400 metres relay.

A record programme of 16 para-athletics events was included in the Games.
