The European Taekwondo Championships are the European senior championships in Taekwondo, first held in Barcelona in 1976. The event is held every two years and is organized by the European Taekwondo Union, the continental affiliate of World Taekwondo, which organises and controls Olympic style taekwondo.

Extra European Championships

The G4 Extra European Taekwondo Championships were held in November 2019 as a form of compensation for European athletes to provide them the chance to collect ranking points for the 2020 Olympic Games after taekwondo was dropped from the 2019 European Games program. World Taekwondo Europe (WTE) president referred to it as the continental flagship event.
