The 1988 U.S. Figure Skating Championships took place between January 4 and 10, 1988 in Denver, Colorado. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth) in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice.
The event was one of the criteria used to select the U.S. teams for the 1988 Winter Olympics, as well as the 1988 World Championships.
