The Kazakh Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Kazakhstan Skating Union to crown the national champions of Kazakhstan. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels, although each discipline may not necessarily be held every year due to a lack of participants. Skaters from neighboring countries such as Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan have frequently competed as guests.

At the 2014 Kazakh Championships in Astana, Elizabet Tursynbaeva was forced to withdraw from the competition when it was discovered that she was not old enough to compete in the senior-level event; she was only 13 at the time. Tursynbaeva had been in the lead, but Aiza Imambek ended up winning the competition.

Denis Ten, the 2006 Kazakh champion, was murdered in July 2018 by carjackers in Almaty. The Denis Ten Memorial Challenge, named in his honor, debuted in 2019 at the Halyk Arena in Almaty. Since 2021, it has been a regular event of the ISU Challenger Series.
