The 1968 NAIA Soccer Championship was the tenth annual tournament held by the NAIA to determine the national champion of men's college soccer among its members in the United States.

Davis & Elkins defeated hosts and two-time defending champions Quincy (IL) in the final, 2–1 after five overtime periods, to claim the Senators' first NAIA national title. This was the first NAIA national championship game to go into extra time.

The final was again played at Quincy College in Quincy, Illinois.
