The world record for the 60 metres hurdles is recognised by World Athletics, the governing body for the sport of athletics, for both men and women. The event is recognised in indoor settings only. The current men's record is 7.27 A seconds, set by the USA's Grant Holloway on 24 February 2021 in Madrid, Spain. The current women's record is held by The Bahamas’s Devynne Charlton and Tia Jones. Charlton ran 7.67 seconds in New York City on 11 February 2024 and Jones ran 7.67 A in Albuquerque on 16 February 2024. The governing body have officially ratified world indoor records since 1 January 1987. Previous to this, they were regarded as world indoor bests; as such, the existing world indoor bests were deemed to be the inaugural world indoor records.
