The Croatian Figure Skating Championships (Croatian: Prvenstvo Hrvatske u umjetničkom klizanju) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Croatian Skating Federation (Croatian: Hrvatski klizački savez) to crown the national champions of Croatia. The secession of Slovenia and Croatia in June 1991 led to the eventual breakup of Yugoslavia.[1] The first Croatian Championships held after Croatia's independence took place in Zagreb in March 1992.[2]

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating at the senior and junior levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. Boris Martinec holds the record for winning the most Croatian Championship titles in men's singles (with seven), while Mirna Librić holds the record in women's singles (with eight). Lana Petranović and Antonio Souza-Kordeiru hold the record in pair skating (with three); however, they are also the only pairs team Croatia has seen compete at the senior level.

Many Croatian skaters had been champions of Yugoslavia before Croatia's independence. Siblings Tomislav and Željka Čižmešija had each won seven Yugoslav Figure Skating Championship titles before becoming Croatian champions.
