The 1945 U.S. Figure Skating Championships were held from March 2-5 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Gold, silver, and bronze medals were awarded in three disciplines – women's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice. For the second year in a row, Men's singles was only competed for at the junior and novice levels, as most of the country's top male figure skaters were in the military due to WWII.
