Austrian Figure Skating Championships

The Austrian Figure Skating Championships (German: Österreichische Staatsmeisterschaften im Eiskunstlauf) an annual figure skating competition organized by Skate Austria to crown the national champions of Austria. The first official Austrian Championships for men were held in 1898 in Vienna, for women in 1913 in Prague, and for pair skating in 1913 in Vienna.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. Viktor Pfeifer holds the record for winning the most Austrian Championship titles in men's singles (with nine), while Regine Heitzer holds the record in women's singles (with seven). Miriam Ziegler and Severin Kiefer hold the record in pair skating (with nine), although Kiefer has won an additional three championships with another partner. Dmitri Matsjuk holds the record in ice dance (with eight), although not all with the same partner.

The German-Austrian Figure Skating Championships were held until 1895. The first Austrian Championships for men were held in 1898 in Vienna. In 1913, the first Austrian Championships for women were held in Prague, and for pairs in 1913 in Vienna.

After the Anschluss – the annexation of the Federal State of Austria into the German Reich in March 1938 – "Gau-Championships" (or "Ostmark Championships") were held instead of national championships. No championships were held in 1944 or 1945 due to World War II. After the war ended and Austria regained its independence, the championships resumed and have been held without interruption since.

The 2026 Austrian Championships are scheduled to be held 10–13 December 2025 in Innsbruck.
