The 2017 European Figure Skating Championships were held 25–29 January 2017 in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs, and ice dancing.
Skaters were eligible for the event if they represented a European member nation of the International Skating Union and had reached the age of 15 before July 1, 2016, in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters is the 2017 Four Continents Championships. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.
Based on the results of the 2016 European Championships, the ISU allows each country one to three entries per discipline.
National associations began announcing their selections in December 2016. The ISU published a complete list on 4 January 2017:
Fernandez won his fifth European title.
Medvedeva won her second European title.
Bronze medalists the previous two years, Tarasova/Morozov won their first European title after placing first in the short program and second in the free skate. Ranked third in the short and first in the free, Savchenko/Massot received silver for the second consecutive year. Bronze medalists James/Ciprès were the first French pair to win a European medal in fourteen years (since 2003, when Sarah Abitbol / Stéphane Bernadis took silver).
Papadakis/Cizeron became European champions for the third consecutive year.
