Stars of Track and Field was a three-piece indie rock band from Portland, Oregon that was active from 2003 to 2011. They were named after the song "The Stars of Track and Field" by Belle and Sebastian, from the 1996 album If You're Feeling Sinister.{{cite web|last = Carlson|first = Jen|date = April 17, 2006|url = http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/04/17/gothamist_band_12.php|title = Gothamist Band Interview: Stars of Track and Field|publisher = Gothamist|access-date = 2006-05-25|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060421152338/http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/04/17/gothamist_band_12.php|archive-date = April 21, 2006}}
