The sit spin is one of the three basic figure skating spin positions. It is defined by a squatting position in which the skater's buttocks are below the knee of the skating leg. This forms an angle of less than 90 degrees between the thigh and the calf of the skating leg. When the spin is entered through a jump, it is called a flying sit spin.

The sit spin was first performed by Jackson Haines and it is sometimes known as the Jackson Haines spin.

The flying sit spin was first performed by skaters coached by Gustav Lussi, possibly Buddy Vaughn and Bill Grimditch.

There are many variations on the basic sit spin.
