The Belgian Figure Skating Championships (Dutch: Belgisch Kampioenschap; French: Championnat de Belgique) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Royal Belgian Figure Skating Federation (Dutch: Koninklijke Belgische Kunstschaatsen Federatie, French: Fédération Royale Belge de Patinage Artistique) to crown the national champions of Belgium. Early championships consisted of events in speed skating, figure skating, and ice hockey.

Medals are awarded in men's and women's singles at the senior and junior levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. No competition was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
