The Latvian Figure Skating Championships (Latvian: Latvijas Čempionāts daiļslidošanā) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Latvian Skating Association to crown the national champions of Latvia. The first Latvian Championships held after the collapse of the Soviet Union were took place in Riga in April 1992. In 2012, 2022, and 2023, Latvia hosted an international competition – the Latvian Trophy – which also served as their national championships. In 2010 and 2012, combined events with Lithuania were held. In all of these cases, the top Latvian skaters were recognized as the Latvian Champions.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. Deniss Vasiļjevs currently holds the record for winning the most Latvian Championship titles in men's singles (with seven), while Angelīna Kučvaļska holds the record in women's singles (with five). Olga Boguslavska and Andrejs Brovenko hold the record in pair skating (with three), although Brovenko won an additional title with a previous partner.
