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 and winter sports were introduced for the very first time, 16 years before the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix.
The competition took place on October 28 and 29, 1908.
No event had more than 7 competitors, with 2 having only 3 entrants.
