The Czech Figure Skating Championships are the figure skating national championships held annually to crown the national champions of the Czech Republic. Medals may be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing on the senior, junior, and novice levels.
In 2007 and 2008, the Czech Championships were held concurrently with the Slovak Championships. Since 2009, the event is held with Slovakia and Poland, forming the Three Nationals Championships. Skaters from the three countries compete together and the results are split at the end of the competition to form national podiums.
