The '''1951 FIBA European Championship''', commonly called '''FIBA EuroBasket 1951''', was the seventh [[FIBA EuroBasket]] regional [[basketball]] championship, held by the [[International Basketball Federation]] (FIBA).  Eighteen national teams affiliated with FIBA entered the competition, a record number and more than twice the number that had competed two years earlier. The competition was hosted by France, who had taken second place at [[EuroBasket 1949]], behind 1949 hosts [[Egypt]]. The [[Vélodrome d'hiver]], Paris was the location of the event.<ref>[http://www.fibaeurope.com/cid_,qVPP9zLJKY121Ltl7u2L2.coid_h2pBsksyJ-cCHE,whyz0T3.articleMode_on.html EuroBasket History – The 50s]</ref>

73 matches were held over the course of the tournament, including three walkovers caused when [[Romania]] withdrew after the draw.

===Elimination game===
The two fifth-placed teams from the preliminary groups, [[Denmark national basketball team|Denmark]] and [[Luxembourg national basketball team|Luxembourg]], played a single elimination game for the honor of being the eighth team in the consolation round.  The game was perhaps the closest in Eurobasket history; it was tied at 45–45 with [[Peter Tatalls]] at the free throw line with 5 seconds left.  Tatalls made the shot, putting Denmark ahead 46–45.  Luxembourg moved the ball up to about half-court before attempting a shot just before time expired.  The shot bounced off the rim, eliminating Luxembourg from the tournament and giving Denmark their first win of the tournament as they moved into the classification round to play for 9th–16th places.
