1986 U.S. Figure Skating Championships
The 1986 U.S. Figure Skating Championships was held in early February 1986 in Uniondale, New York. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold, silver, bronze, and pewter in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice.
The event was one of the criteria used to select the U.S. teams for the 1986 World Championships.
