The Asian Figure Skating Trophy (or Asian Trophy; previously known as the Asian Figure Skating Championships) is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the Asian Skating Union in which Asian figure skaters compete for the title of Asian Champion. Skaters compete in the disciplines of men's singles and ladies singles across three levels: novice, junior, and senior.
Following an ASU meeting in Changchun, China during the 6th Asian Winter Games 2007, the ASU revised the name of the competition from the Asian Figure Skating Championships to the Asian Figure Skating Trophy. The International Skating Union approved the change.
The 2007 event took place from July 20 through July 22 in Taipei City, Chinese Taipei.
