The Philippine Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Philippine Skating Union to crown the national champions of the Philippines. The first Philippine Championships were held in 2000 in Las Piñas.[1] Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating at the senior and junior levels, although each discipline may not necessarily be held every year due to a lack of participants.

Competitive figure skating is relatively new to the Philippines. The first ice rink in the Philippines was built in the early 1990s at the SM Megamall in Mandaluyong. The Philippine Skating Union was established in 2004 and joined the International Skating Union (ISU) that year.[2] Michael Novales became the first skater to represent the Philippines in international competition (at the 2006 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships). Before the Philippines joined the ISU, he competed for the United States.[3]

No competition was held in 2019 on account of the Philippines hosting the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Additionally, no competitions were held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] In 2025, the Philippine Skating Union hosted an international event in Pasay, which also served as the Philippines' national championships.[4] The top Filipino competitors at this competition were recognized as the Philippine national champions.[5]
