The spread eagle is one of the 'moves in the field' in the sport of figure skating, in which a skater glides on both feet, the toes turned out to the sides, heels facing each other. It can be performed on either the inside or outside edges.

Iconic examples of the move

• One of 1968 Olympic champion Peggy Fleming's signature move was a spread eagle that led directly into a double Axel, which ended in another spread eagle.
• 1988 Olympic champion Brian Boitano is known for spread eagles that are fast and held out with a deep edge. He was also known for his " 'Tano" Lutz, an outside spread eagle into a triple Lutz with one hand over his head during rotation.
