The Danish Figure Skating Championships (Danish: Danske Mesterskaber) are the figure skating national championships held annually to crown the national champions of Denmark. Skaters compete in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, across different levels. Not every event has been held in every year due to a lack of entries. The National Championships are organized by the Dansk Skøjte Union. The championships were held outdoors in the first half of the 20th century, and therefore were subject to the weather conditions. The championships were not held during the warmer winters.
