The World Athletics Indoor Championships is the international championship in indoor track and field athletics competition for athletes from across the globe. It is organised by World Athletics. The championships used to be biennial but have recently been taking place every year.

In 1985, the competition was first held as the World Indoor Games and this initial edition took place in Paris, France, and was renamed to IAAF World Indoor Championships only 2 years later. In 2019, the current name changed again to align with the name change of the sports governing body from IAAF to World Athletics.
