The French Figure Skating Championships (French: Championnats de France de patinage artistique) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération Française des Sports de Glace) to crown the national champions of France. The first official French Championships were held in 1908 in Chamonix. The competition, exclusively for men, consisted of special figures and free skating; Louis Magnus was the winner. A competition for women was added the next year, pair skating was added in 1911, and ice dance in 1948. The championships were interrupted during both World War I and World War II.

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. Alain Giletti currently holds the record for winning the most French Championship titles in men's singles (with ten), while Andrée Brunet (née Joly) holds the record in women's singles (also with ten). Andrée Brunet also holds the record in pair skating with her husband Pierre Brunet (with eleven), while Jean-Paul Guhel holds the record in ice dance (with nine), although these were not all won with the same partner.
