The 2010 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships was an international figure skating competition in the 2009–10 season. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing for the title of Four Continents Champion. The four continents of the event's name refer to the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, which are four of the continents represented in the Olympic rings, omitting Europe.

The 2010 competition was held at the Jeonju Hwasan Ice Arena in Jeonju, South Korea from January 27 through 30.^[1] The corresponding competition for European skaters was the 2010 European Figure Skating Championships.

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. Skaters must have reached the age of 15 by July 1, 2009 in order to compete.
