The ISU Junior Grand Prix in Thailand is an international figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Figure & Speed Skating Association of Thailand (Thai: สมาคมฟิกเกอร์และสปีดสเก็ตติ้งแห่งประเทศไทย). It is held periodically as an event of the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP), a series of international competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and ice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results at the qualifying competitions each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the JGP events change every year. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

Skaters are eligible to compete on the junior-level circuit if they are at least 13 years old before 1 July of the respective season, but not yet 19 (for single skaters), 21 (for men and women in ice dance and women in pair skating), or 23 (for men in pair skating). Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member nation in each discipline is determined by their results at the prior World Junior Figure Skating Championships.

Thailand hosted its first Junior Grand Prix competition in 2023 in Bangkok. Rio Nakata of Japan won the men's event, Ami Nakai of Japan won the women's event, and Leah Neset and Artem Markelov of the United States won the ice dance event. Thailand hosted the event again in 2024 and 2025.

In 2023, Yanhao Li became the first skater from New Zealand to win an Junior Grand Prix medal in any discipline. In 2024, Li won New Zealand's first ever Junior Grand Prix gold medal in any discipline.
