{{short description|Professional wrestling championship}}
The '''European Heavyweight Championship''' is a name used for various top [[Championship (professional wrestling)|title]]s competed for throughout the [[Europe]]an [[professional wrestling]] circuit.

The title was recognised as official by UK national TV network [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] for the purposes of their coverage of the UK wrestling scene<ref>[http://johnlisterwriting.com/itvwrestling/67.html ''World of Sport'' - Wrestling from The Winter Gardens, Malvern, Worcestershire, ITV 24 June 1967] Geoff Porter v. [[Billy Robinson]]  - Robinson is billed as British and European Heavyweight Champion)</ref> and by its listings magazine [[TVTimes]] in accompanying magazine feature coverage.<ref name =rené>{{Cite web|url=http://wrestlingfurnace.site/galleries/k/gkidd/gkidd20.jpg|title=''These are the champions'' side panel to George Kidd interview - lists René Lassatasse as European Heavyweight Champion |publisher=[[TVTimes]] |year=1977}}</ref>

The title was defended in many promotions in Europe, and other versions of this one title also appeared in certain promotions. On August 25, 2001 the European Wrestling Union produced a European Heavyweight Championship tournament in [[Bochum]], [[Germany]], bringing in wrestlers some of whom claimed to already be the champion. This tournament saw these titles merge into one with Britain's [[Robbie Brookside]] confirming his claim as champion by defeating American "Five Star" Cory K in a championship decider.

The title history below shows all the holders of the traditional/"old school" title in chronological order plus some major "new school" versions. However, there are instances where another wrestler has taken the role of champion, or claimed the title but no official title change was recorded (these are noted with "unknown title history", or other details.)
