Polina Edmunds (born May 18, 1998) is an American figure skater. She is the 2015 Four Continents champion, a two-time U.S. national silver medalist (2014, 2016), and represented the United States at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Polina Edmunds was born on May 18, 1998 in Santa Clara, California. Her mother, Nina, is a figure skating coach and former figure skater originally from Tver, Russia, who learned how to coach under Alexei Mishin. Her father, John Edmunds, is CFO of a computer software company. She has two brothers—James, who is two years older, and Daniel, four years younger—both of whom play hockey. Olympic ice dance champions, Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponomarenko, are the godparents of her brother, Daniel. She was a student at Archbishop Mitty High School and graduated in May 2016. She was accepted to Santa Clara University and began studying there in September 2016. She is a member of Santa Clara's chapter of Delta Gamma Fraternity.

Edmunds began taking ballet and jazz lessons at Dance Theatre International in Evergreen, San Jose when she was eight.

Edmunds first stepped onto the ice at twenty months old and was taking lessons in both skating and ballet by age four. She cites Carolina Kostner, Sasha Cohen, and Michelle Kwan as her figure skating role models. She trains at the Sharks Ice Rink in San Jose with longtime coaches David Glynn and Nina Edmunds, her mother, who have both coached her since she was four.
