Croatian Figure Skating Championships

The Croatian Figure Skating Championships (Croatian: Prvenstvo Hrvatske u umjetničkom klizanju) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Croatian Skating Federation (Croatian: Hrvatski klizački savez) to crown the national champions of Croatia. Croatia and Slovenia seceded from Yugoslavia in June 1991. The first championships held after Croatian independence took place in Zagreb in March 1992. Championships are currently held at the Klizalište Velesajam in Zagreb.

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. Many early Croatian skaters had been champions of Yugoslavia before Croatian independence; siblings Tomislav and Željka Čižmešija had each won multiple Yugoslav Championship titles before becoming Croatian champions. Jari Kessler and Boris Martinec are tied for winning the most Croatian Championship titles in men's singles (with five each), while Mirna Librić holds the record in women's singles (with eight). Lana Petranović and Antonio Souza-Kordeiru hold the record in pair skating (with three); however, they are the only pairs team Croatia has had compete at the senior level.

While junior-level championships were held in Croatia prior to 2008, this is earliest for which full results have been documented.
