The 1951 NCAA Men's Cross Country Championships were the 13th annual cross country meet to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate cross country running in the United States.

The meet was hosted by Michigan State University on November 26, 1951 at the Forest Akers East Golf Course in East Lansing, Michigan. The distance for the race was 4 miles (6.4 kilometers).

The team national championship was won by the Syracuse Orangemen, their first. The individual championship was retained by Herb Semper, from Kansas, with a time of 20:09.74.[2]
