The British Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organised by British Ice Skating to crown the national champions of Great Britain. The first official British Championships were held in 1903 in London. The competition – originally called the Swedish Challenge Cup – allowed for both men and women to compete, and consisted of compulsory figures and free skating; Madge Syers was the winner. Pair skating was added to the championships in 1921, a separate competition for women in 1927, and ice dance in 1937. They have been interrupted only three times since their inception.

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 may be held every year due to a lack of participants. John Page currently holds the record for winning the most British Championship titles in men's singles (with eleven). In addition, Page and his partner Ethel Muckelt hold the record in pair skating (with nine). Jenna McCorkell holds the record in women's singles (with eleven), while Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson hold the record ice dance (with eight).
