Notes

1. Skaters from Russia have been banned from competing at all international skating events since 2022 due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
2. The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was formed following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
3. Prior to 1948, skaters from nations outside of Europe were permitted to compete at the European Championships.

Most gold medals by skater

• If the number of gold medals is identical, the silver and bronze medals are used as tie-breakers (in that order). If all numbers are the same, the skaters receive the same placement and are sorted in alphabetical order.
• The table only shows the period from the first to last won medal, not all participation at the European Championships.
