The Swedish Figure Skating Championships (Swedish: Svenska mästerskapen i konståkning) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Swedish Figure Skating Federation (Swedish: Svenska Konståkningsförbundet) to crown the national champions of Sweden. The first official Swedish Championships were held in 1895 in Stockholm. Originally, the only figure skating event was for men; Ulrich Salchow, the skater responsible for inventing the Salchow jump,[1] was the inaugural champion. Early championships featured events in both speed skating and figure skating.[2] An event for women was added in 1908, pair skating in 1912, and ice dance in 1980. Early on, the championships were periodically interrupted, but they remained uninterrupted from 1931 until 2021, when the Swedish Figure Skating Federation was forced to cancel the competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although each discipline may not be held every year due to a lack of participants. Hans Lindh currently holds the record for winning the most Swedish Championship titles in men's singles (with eleven), while Gunnel Mothander (née Ericson) holds the record in women's singles (with twelve). Britta Råhlén and Bo Mothander hold the record in pair skating (with seven), while Åsa Agblad holds the record in ice dance (with four), although not all while competing with the same partner.
