Roller sports at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto were held from July 11 to 13.

The speed skating competitions were held at the St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School. Originally the 400 meters oval would be constructed at CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House and meant to be temporary but a last minute venue change to St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School meant that the high school got to keep the track after the competition.

The figure skating competitions took place at the Direct Energy Centre (Exhibition Centre) – Hall B. Due to naming rights the venue was known as the latter for the duration of the games. A total of eight events (six in speed and two in figure) were contested, with the events being equally split between each gender.
