Speed skating at the 1992 Winter Olympics, was held from 9 February to 20 February. Ten events were contested at L'anneau de vitesse.

Germany, in its first Olympics since reunification, topped the medal table with five gold medals, and eleven total medals. All the medals were won by athletes from the former East Germany. Germany's Gunda Niemann-Stirnemann led the individual medal table with two golds and a silver, and Norway's Johan Olav Koss was the most successful male skater, with one gold and one silver.

South Korea's Kim Yoon-Man and China's Ye Qiaobo became the first ever medalists for their countries at the Winter Olympics.

There were no Olympic or World records set at the 1992 Games, as the outdoor rink in Albertville was not conducive to fast times.

Twenty-three nations competed in the speed skating events at Albertville. The Unified Team made its only Olympic appearance.
