The 2022 Russian Figure Skating Championships (Russian: Чемпионат России по фигурному катанию на коньках 2022) were held from 21 to 26 December 2021 in Saint Petersburg.[1] Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dance. The results were among the criteria used to select Russia's teams to the 2022 European Championships and 2022 Winter Olympics.

Kamila Valieva was stripped of her gold medal in Senior Women's singles after testing positive for Trimetazidine, a banned substance, on the second day of the Women's competition.[2] Subsequently, Alexandra Trusova became the gold medalist, with Anna Shcherbakova moving up to silver and Adeliia Petrosian receiving the bronze medal.[3]
