The speed skating competition of the 2010 Winter Olympics was held at the Richmond Olympic Oval between 13 and 27 February 2010.

Notes

Haralds Silovs became the first athlete in Olympic history to participate in both short track (1500 m) and long track (5000 m) speed skating, and the first to compete in two different disciplines on the same day. He competed in the 5000 m and then raced across town to the 1500 m event. The low altitude of Vancouver and high humidity inside the Richmond Olympic Oval, set just 3 metres above the sea, meant that no world records in speed skating would be set at these Games.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}
