The following is a list of NCAA and AIAW championships won by Pac-12 Conference members. The Pac-12 was the first conference to win 500 team titles and currently (as of May 22, 2024) Pac-12 members have won 514 team NCAA national championships, putting them ahead of the second place Big Ten Conference. Since the 1999–2000 academic year, the Pac-12 claims a total of 223 NCAA team titles, including 3 by 1 school in 2022–2023. They have also led or tied the nation in NCAA Championships in 57 of the last 63 years, including the past 18 years, the only exceptions being in 1980–81, 1988–89, 1990–91 and 1995-96 when the conference finished second, and finished third in 1998-99 and 2004–2005.

This list also includes championships won by current Pac-12 schools while members of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), a closely related league that was formed in 1916 and disbanded in 1959. Although the current charter of what is now known as the Pac-12 dates only to the formation of the Athletic Association of Western Universities immediately after the demise of the PCC, the Pac-12 claims the PCC's history as its own. There is considerable continuity between the PCC and Pac-12—eight of the nine final members of the PCC (all except Idaho) became Pac-12 members; five of these schools had founded the AAWU, and all eight had joined the AAWU by the 1964–65 school year.

† The NCAA does not officially declare football national championships. Various polls, formulas, and other third-party systems have been used to determine national championships, not all of which are universally accepted. The various polls were often not unanimous, resulting in more than one team sharing a title, and mathematical systems were sometimes applied retroactively to determine championships. Furthermore, schools determined by one or more selectors as champions, do not necessarily claim the title.

• Italics indicate retroactive or minor selector.
• USC claims 11 national football championships, California claims 5, Arizona State, Stanford and Washington each claim 2, and Colorado and UCLA each claim 1 championship.
