The Spanish Chess Championship is a competition whose goal is to identify the country's strongest chess player.

The competition is held under the auspices of the Chess Federation of Spain ( FEDA ).

Championships among men have been held since 1902. ^[1] In the 1930-1940s. the country's champion was determined in a match between the current champion and the challenger. Since the mid 1940s champion is determined by the results of the tournament.

Also under the auspices of the Chess Federation of Spain, the country's women's championship (since 1950), the country's championships among youths and girls, as well as the Spanish open championship are held.
