The East German Figure Skating Championships (German: DDR Eiskunstlauf Meisterschaften) were an annual figure skating competition organized by the Ice Skating Association of East Germany (German: Deutscher Eislauf Verband der DDR) to crown the national champions of East Germany. The first championships held after the partition of Germany took place in 1949 in Oberhof. They were held regularly between 1949 and 1990, at which point East Germany was reunited with West Germany.

Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels, although not every discipline was held every year due to a lack of participants. Jan Hoffmann holds the record for winning the most East German Championship titles in men's singles (with eight), while Gabriele Seyfert holds the record in women's singles (with ten). The record in pair skating is held by Heinz-Ulrich Walther (with six), although those were not all won with the same partner. Annerose Baier and Eberhard Rüger hold the record in ice dance (with seven).
