The Spanish Figure Skating Championships (Spanish: Campeonato De España De Patinaje Sobre Hielo) are a figure skating national championship held annually to determine the national champions of Spain. 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. Not all disciplines in all levels have been held every year due to a lack of competitors.
