The Canadian National Skating Championships (French: Championnats nationaux canadiens de patinage) are an annual figure skating competition organized by Skate Canada to crown the national champions of Canada. While the first official Canadian Championships were held in 1914, unofficial championships had been hosted by the Minto Skating Club in Ottawa since 1905. They have been interrupted only twice since 1920. The event was called the Canadian Figure Skating Championships (French: Championnats du Canada de patinage artistique) prior to 2023, when synchronized skating, which had previously held separate championships, was folded into the competition along with the other figure skating disciplines.
Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, ice dance, and synchronized skating at the senior and junior levels. The results are among the criteria used to determine the Canadian entries to the World Figure Skating Championships, World Junior Figure Skating Championships, Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, and Winter Olympics, as well as the members of the Canadian national team.
Patrick Chan currently holds the record for winning the most Canadian Championship titles in men's singles (with ten), while Constance Wilson-Samuel holds the record in women's singles (with nine). Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford hold the record in pair skating (with seven), while Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz hold the record in ice dance (with ten).
