At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, four figure skating events were contested. This took place at the Prince's Skating Club, in the district of Knightsbridge. It was the first time that a type of winter sport was ever introduced in the Olympic Games, 16 years before the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix.
The competition took place on 28 and 29 October 1908.
The number of competitors was very low, with two events having only three entrants, guaranteeing a medal for participation.
