The Austrian Figure Skating Championships (German: Österreichische Staatsmeisterschaften im Eiskunstlauf) are 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. Competitions were periodically interrupted early on, especially during World War I and World War II. After the German annexation of Austria in 1938, Austria became part of the German Empire and Austrian citizens became de facto German citizens, but regional championships were still held in Austria that are considered historically as Austria's national championships. Since World War II ended and Austria regained its independence, the Austrian Championships have been held without interruption.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior 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 eight), 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.
