The 1948 NCAA gymnastics championships were contested at the sixth annual NCAA-sanctioned gymnastics meet to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate gymnastics among its member programs in the United States.^[1] Due to the interruptions of sporting events caused by World War II, these were the first championships held since 1942.

These championships were contested at the Henry Crown Field House at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois.

Penn State finished on top of the team standings, thus earning the Nittany Lions their first team gymnastics title.

The individual all-around championship was won by Ray Sorensen from Penn State.
