The Brazilian Figure Skating Championships () are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Brazilian Ice Sports Federation () to crown the national champions of Brazil. Competitive figure skating is relatively new to Brazil. The Brazilian Ice Sports Federation became a member of the International Skating Union (ISU) in 2006, making Brazil the first nation from South America to join the ISU. The first national championships – the Rio Open of Figure Skating () – were held in 2015 in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2009, Kevin Alves became the first man to represent Brazil in international competition, at the 2009 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships. In 2014, Isadora Williams became the first skater from Brazil to qualify for the Winter Olympics. In 2018, she became the first skater from Brazil (and all of South America) to reach the free skate at the Winter Olympics. The first time that Williams actually competed in Brazil was at the 2019 Brazilian Championships, held at the ice rink of the ParkShopping Canoas, an indoor shopping mall in Canoas. Matheus Figueiredo, president of the Brazilian Ice Sports Federation, stated: "The specific intention behind bringing the event to the shopping mall was to promote the sport, fostering interaction with the public and giving them the opportunity to watch an Olympian, who, for the first time in her career, was competing in Brazil." When Williams announced her retirement from competitive skating in 2021, she stated that she wanted to finish her career by competing at the 2021 Brazilian Championships, but injury prevented her from doing so.
Medals are awarded in men's singles and women's singles at the senior and junior levels, although each discipline may not necessarily be held every year due to a lack of participants. In 2017, the Brazilian Ice Sports Federation reorganized the structure of their national championships to align with that of the ISU. This included dividing skaters into separate competitions based on their age and technical level, as well as adopting the ISU Judging System. The Brazilian Championships were cancelled in 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
