The Nordic Figure Skating Championships (Swedish: Nordiska mästerskapen i konståkning; Norwegian: Nordiske mesterskap i kunstløp; Danish: Nordiske mesterskaber i kunstskøjteløb; Finnish: Pohjoismaiset taitoluistelun mestaruuskilpailut; Icelandic: Norðurlandameistaramót í listskautaíþróttum) – also reported in media as the Scandinavian Figure Skating Championships – are an annual figure skating competition jointly organized by the skating federations of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The first Nordic Championships were held in 1919 in Oslo, Norway, and consisted of events in speed skating and figure skating. The championships were originally limited to skaters from the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden); however, representatives of any ISU member nation have been able to compete in senior-level events at the championships since 2011, and in junior-level events since 2020.
Medals may be awarded in men's and women's singles at the senior and junior levels. Pair skating was last contested at the Nordic Championships in 1967. Ice dance was contested very infrequently; the last occurrence was in 2012. Three skaters are currently tied for winning the most Nordic Championships in men's singles (with six each): Kristoffer Berntsson of Sweden, Per Kjølberg of Norway, and Alexander Majorov of Sweden. Viktoria Helgesson of Sweden holds the record for winning the most Nordic Championships in women's singles (with five), and Ludowika Jakobsson and Walter Jakobsson of Finland hold the record in pair skating (with three).
