Indoor athletics at the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games

Indoor athletics competition at the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games was held from 18–20 September 2017, at the Indoor Athletics Arena. 25 medal events were contested over three days - 13 for men, 12 for women in the absence of a women's pole vault.

Kazakhstan won most titles, with six golds, and were denied a seventh after winning the women's 4x400m relay by being disqualified for a lane violation. This elevated Turkmenistan to bronze, earning the host nation their first ever athletics medal at any version of the Asian Indoor Games, and only their fifth medal at any senior Asian Championships or Asian Games, indoor or outdoor. Kazakhstan's haul of 10 medals was matched by Thailand.

Indoor Athletics was on the Asian Indoor Games programme between 2005 and 2009, and returned at the Ashgabat 2017 5th Asian Indoor & Martial Arts Games after being skipped in 2013.^[1]
