The Russian Figure Skating Championships (Russian: Чемпионат России по фигурному катанию) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Figure Skating Federation of Russia (Russian: Федерация фигурного катания на коньках России) to crown the national champions of Russia. The first Russian Championships were held in 1897 in Saint Petersburg, open only to men and featuring both figure skating and speed skating. A separate competition for women debuted in 1911. The last championships prior to the Russian Revolution took place in 1915. The championships of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic took place in 1920 before the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922. During the period of Soviet control, Russian skaters competed in the Soviet Figure Skating Championships. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, separate Russian Championships resumed, and have been held without interruption since.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels. Evgeni Plushenko holds the record for winning the most Russian Championship titles in men's singles (with ten), while Maria Butyrskaya holds the record in women's singles (with six). Two teams are tied for winning the most titles in pair skating (with four each): Marina Eltsova and Andrei Bushkov, and Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze. Maxim Trankov also won four titles in pair skating, but not with the same partner. Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev hold the record in ice dance (with seven).
