The UEC Gravel European Championships are the European title races for elite gravel cyclists, organized by the European Cycling Union since 2023. The championships rotate among host towns, with past editions held in Belgium, Italy, Finland, and Denmark. The main event consists of elite men's and women's gravel races, where riders compete in national colours instead of trade-team jerseys.
The courses vary with each host location, but the series follows the contemporary gravel format: road-race tactics applied to unpaved routes. GPX tracks, team zones, live timing, and start lists are managed as in a major championship. Eligibility for the title is based on national selection or qualification through European UCI Gravel World Series events. Riders not eligible for the title may participate in some categories with a day license. The champion receives a white European champion's jersey featuring blue bands and yellow stars, inspired by the European flag. Early winners include Jasper Stuyven and Lorena Wiebes, with Italy and Belgium quickly leading the first medal table.
