Cynthia Phaneuf at the 2004 Four Continents Championships

Cynthia Phaneuf (born on January 16, 1988 in Contrecoeur, Quebec) is a Canadian figure skater. She won the gold medal at the 2004 Canadian National Championships. She is coached by Annie Barabé and Sophie Richard, and her programs are choreographed by David Wilson. In domestic Canadian competitions, she represents CPA Sorel.

Considered a threat to qualify for the 2006 Canadian Olympic team due to her two previous National medals, Phaneuf was forced to withdraw from the 2006 Canadian National Championships (the Olympic qualifying competition) due to an injury to her right knee. This was following a stress fracture to her right ankle that prevented her from competing in fall competitions.
