In this note, we study the complexity of multiplication in skew polynomial rings over finite fields. We prove that the product of two elements in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}[x;σ]$ of degree at most $d < n$ can be computed using $\widetilde O(d^{ω_K-1}n)$ arithmetic operations over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $σ$ is the $q$-Frobenius automorphism. This matches the conjectural upper bound of Caruso--Le Borgne~[ISSAC'17] and is quasi-optimal in view of the lower bound of Chen--Ye [ISSAC'24]. The proof reduces the finite-field case to the split algebra case using the equivariant multiplication theory of Couveignes--Ezome~[J.~Algebra, 2023], and then applies existing fast algorithms.
