The Skylands Runes are a collection of recurring symbols seen in the Skylanders franchise. Though they are not the only symbols used, they frequently appear as written language, decoration or empowering artifacts in many objects throught Skylands.

In Skylanders: Universe, they were used as a language, with which the codes that Skylanders figures game with were "translated" to be summoned into the game; but in other entries they appear to have no literal meaning as no phrase written with them corresponds to the "language" used in that game. The Shattering Sigil is a notable artifact using a rune, and most Portals of Power feature several of those symbols engraved on them. The Runic Headband hat, first appearing on Skylanders: Swap Force, is a floating circlet made of these runes.

In Skylanders Academy, Skylands Runes are also used as a written language, though the regular English alphabet is seen more commonly.

In Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, eleven of the Skylands Runes are used for stat increasing abilities, appearing as slabs of stone with the symbol engraved on them.
