The World Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union in which elite figure skaters compete for the title of World Champion. This event is considered the most prestigious of the ISU Championships. Skaters compete in ladies' singles, men's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

The 2005 Worlds were held at the Luzhniki Sports Palace in Moscow, Russia from March 14th to 20th. This event was the primary means of deciding the number of entries each country would have to the Olympics.

The compulsory dance was the Midnight Blues. Due to the large number of participants, the ladies and men's qualifying groups were split into groups A and B.
