Jeremy Abbott is an American figure skater. He is the 2008 Grand Prix Final champion, a two-time (2007, 2011) Four Continents bronze medalist, and a three-time (2009, 2010, 2012) U.S. national champion. He represented the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics, where he placed ninth.

Abbott has competed in three figure skating disciplines. As a juvenile, he competed in ice dancing with Amanda Cunningham from 1995–1996 and with Katie Hoffmaster from 1997–1998. He competed as a pair skater with Brittany Vise in 1998–1999 and Krystal Sorenson from 2001–2002. In his early years, Abbott was coached by Peggy Behr in Aspen, Colorado. In 1999, Abbott moved from Aspen to Colorado Springs, Colorado to train at the Colorado Springs World Arena with Tom Zakrajsek. He began representing the Broadmoor Skating Club. Abbott began competing in singles at the novice level in the 2000–2001 seasons, but failed to make it out of sectionals. The next year he made it to Nationals, where he placed 6th at the novice level. For the 2011–2012 Grand Prix seasons, Abbott was assigned to compete at 2011 Cup of China and 2011 Cup of Russia. He later said they were not the two he had asked for but that it had worked out well. He placed third in both programs at Cup of China and came away with the gold medal overall. At Cup of Russia, Abbott won the short program with a new personal best of 83.54 points. He was fifth in the free program and won the bronze medal overall. He qualified for his third Grand Prix Final. At the 2012 U.S. Championships, Abbott placed first in both programs and won his third national title. He withdrew from the 2012 Four Continents due to back spasms and was replaced by 13th-placed Richard Dornbush. He won the silver medal at the 2012 Challenge Cup in The Hague. He finished 8th at the 2012 Worlds.

Abbott was 5th at his first Grand Prix event of the season, the 2012 Skate America. Early in the season, he had a compressed disk in his lower back, which also caused nerve problems in his legs, but his condition began to improve by his next event in France. He won the silver medal at the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard. At a practice at the 2013 U.S. Championships he was informed that one of his spins would not count and changed it before competing. He won bronze at the event.
