No clear signals of a physics beyond the Standard Model have been observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The effective field theory (EFT) framework provides a model independent approach to search for such signals. EFT interpretations of measurements involving top quarks performed in the ATLAS experiment using pp collisions from the LHC Run 2 at the centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV are summarized in this article.
