The 1892 European Figure Skating Championships were held on January 24 in Vienna, Austria. Elite figure skaters competed for the title of European Champion in the category of men's singles.[1] The competitors performed compulsory figures and, for the first time in a major international competition, free skating.[2]

The skating associations of Germany and Austria had merged, and they organised these second European Championships before the International Skating Union (ISU) was founded over the summer. The ISU then organised subsequent Championships.[2]
