The Finnish Figure Skating Championships (Finnish: Taitoluistelun SM-kilpailut) are held annually to crown the national champions of Finland. Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. The event is organized by the Skating Finland (Finnish: Suomen Taitoluisteluliitto), the sport's national governing body.
