The FIA European Formula 3 Cup was a Formula Three race held annually in Europe from 1985 to 1990 and 1999 to 2004. The Cup was awarded by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, the world governing body for motorsport, as its main Formula Three title in Europe after the European Formula 3 Championship was cancelled in 1984. A different venue in Europe hosted the Cup each year during its initial run, while the revival in 1999 saw the Cup between the headline event of the Pau Grand Prix.

In 2003, this event was not treated as a non-championship event, since it counted points to the first Formula 3 Euro Series season.

In 2004, the race was again a non-championship event, and this was the last year that the FIA European Formula 3 Cup took place.
