Skate America is an international, senior-level figure skating competition held as part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series. It is organized by the United States Figure Skating Association. The location changes yearly. Medals are awarded in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

The first Skate America was held in 1979 in Lake Placid, New York. It was incorporated into the Grand Prix Series in 1995, the year of the series' inception.

In September 27, 2001, the Heinz Frozen Foods Company, an affiliate of the H. J. Heinz Company, agreed to become an official sponsor of the USFSA. This gave them the right to rename the competition to Smart Ones Skate America, using their brand name of frozen foods.

The 2009 Skate America competition will be held from November 12 through November 15 in Lake Placid, New York.^[1]
