The figure skating events at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games were held at the Halle Olympique located next to the Théâtre des Cérémonies, two kilometres southwest of downtown Albertville.

In the men's singles, ladies' singles and the pairs event, the short program (SP) was factored by 0.5, one-third (33.3%) of the total score, while the free skating (FS) was factored by 1.0, two-thirds (66.7%) of the total score.

In the result of factored placements being tied, the free skating was the tie-breaker.

The 1992 Winter Olympics was also the first time that the men's and ladies' events did not include a compulsory figures competition.

Twenty eight nations sent figure skaters to compete in the events at Albertville.
