Austin Kanallakan (born May 23, 1991) is an American former competitive figure skater. He won three gold medals in the ISU Junior Grand Prix series and silver at the 2006 JGP Final.

In his first year on the JGP circuit, Kanallakan qualified for the Junior Grand Prix Final, where he placed second.[1] He qualified twice more for the event but did not make the podium again. At the 2007 U.S. Championships, he overcame a poor result in the short program to win the free skate and claim the bronze medal on the junior level.
