The 1947 European Figure Skating Championships were the European Figure Skating Championships of the 1946-1947 season. Elite senior-level figure skaters from European ISU Member Nations, in addition to the United States, Canada, and Australia, competed for the title of European Champion. Athlets from Germany and Austria were not admitted. Austrian skaters Eva Pawlik and Edi Rada probably would have won medals. Skaters competed in the disciplines of ladies' singles,[1] men's singles,[2] and pair skating.[3]
