The 2008 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships are the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships for the 2007–08 season. Commonly abbreviated "4CC", they are an annual figure skating competition in which elite figure skaters compete for the title of Four Continents Champion. Skaters compete in the categories of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. The competition is open to skaters from a non-European Member nation of the International Skating Union. The four continents of the event's name refer to the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania (four of the continents represented in the Olympic rings, omitting Europe).

The 2008 competition was held from February 11 through 17 at the Seongsa Ice Rink in Goyang, South Korea.

Notes

  • Unlike the other three ISU championships, each nation was allowed to enter 3 skaters/couples in each event, regardless of its skaters performance in the previous year's championships.
  • The corresponding competition for European skaters was the 2008 European Figure Skating Championships.
  • Skaters must have reached the age of 15 by July 1, 2007 in order to compete.
  • At this competition, Daisuke Takahashi of Japan set a new world record for the free skating (175.84) and the combined overall total (264.41) in men's singles.
