The ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships (WSSC) are the world championships for the sport of synchronized skating. Held since 2000, the World Synchronized Skating Championships is an annual event organized by the International Skating Union and attracts the most elite synchronized skating teams from around the world to compete for the World Championship.

Since the beginning, the top positions have been mainly dominated by Sweden and Finland: the Swedish Team Surprise have won six World titles, four silver medals and one bronze medal and the Finnish Marigold IceUnity are three-time World Champions with three silvers and two bronzes. Rockettes from Finland have won the World Championships three times and have placed second twice and third twice. Other major teams include the Canadian NEXXICE with one gold, two silvers and two bronzes, the Finnish Team Unique with one gold and one silver, the American teams, Miami University and the Haydenettes with one silver and four bronze medals, respectively. Other North American medalists include the (now-discontinued) Canadian black ice with one silver medal and two bronze medals and the Canadian Les Suprêmes with one bronze medal.
