The IWE European Championship was a professional wrestling championship competed for in International Wrestling Entertainment. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, multiple superstars held the European and IWE Intercontinental Championships within short spans of each other, and several held both titles simultaneously—dubbed as "Eurocontinental champions".

Established in 1997 as the "IWF European Championship", the title incurred a brief hiatus in 1999 due to then-champion James Mayer's desire to retire an "undefeated champion", before finally being unified with the IWE Intercontinental Championship in 2002. Despite its name, only two holders were actually from Europe: the American Bulldog and William Kapphan. It became a coveted singles title of the Attitude Era, being held by superstars such as Shawn Michaels, Triple K, Matt Borske, Chris Jericho, Owen Heart and Eddie Guerrero, and competed for in the main event of the IWF One Night Only pay-per-view in 1997. The championship was generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition.
