The Estonian Figure Skating Championships (Estonian: Eesti Meistrivõistlused) are a figure skating national championship held annually to determine the national champions of Estonia. Medals may be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. The event was first held in Tallinn in 1917 in the men's category only – the champion was Johannes Johanson. A ladies' category was added in 1920 – the champion was Tatjana Voitjankovskaja. The Estonian Skating Union was founded in 1991 and was admitted as a provisional member of the International Skating Union in the same year.
