The 2006 United States Figure Skating Championships was a competition used to determine the U.S. national champions and teams for the 2006 Winter Olympics, the 2006 World, Four Continents, and World Junior Championships. Skaters competed in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth).

The 2006 championship took place between January 7 and 15, 2006 at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Competition notes

• This was the first time the ISU Judging System was used at the U.S. Championships.^[1][2]
• Novice ice dancing teams Madison Hubbell / Keiffer Hubbell and Cathy Reed / Chris Reed tied in the first novice compulsory dance. The tie was broken by the technical elements mark and so the Hubbells won that segment of the competition.^[3]
• Junior men's silver medalist Jonathan Trinh was not placed on the World Junior Team because he was not age-eligible.
