The Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships are a figure skating national championship held annually to determine the national champions of Ukraine. Medals are awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
The Russian language predominates in figure skating in Ukraine, although Ukrainian is the native language of about 67% of the general population. International Skating Union biographies generally give Ukrainian skaters' names in Russian rather than Ukrainian form.

“The parent in charge is the disciplinarian.... I do not believe in letting discipline wait for another parent to handle it, nor do I think the father or mother should be allowed to become a shadowy figure who walks in the door and has to play the bad guy in the house.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
