The 1500 metres speed skating event was part of the speed skating at the 1952 Winter Olympics programme. The competition was held on Monday, 18 February 1952 at 5 p.m. Thirty-nine speed skaters from 13 nations competed.[1]
These were the standing world and Olympic records (in minutes) prior to the 1952 Winter Olympics.
| World Record | 2:12.9(*) | Valentin Chaikin | Medeo (URS) | 20 January 1952 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olympic Record | 2:17.6(*) |  Sverre Farstad | St. Moritz (SUI) | 2 February 1948 |
(*) The record was set in a high altitude venue (more than 1000 metres above sea level) and on naturally frozen ice.
The current world record holder Valentin Chaikin did not compete as the Soviet Union did not participate in Winter Games before 1956.
