ICC Europe is the International Cricket Council region responsible for administration of the sport of cricket in Europe. It is a subordinate body to the International Cricket Council (ICC). The organisation currently has 34 members, located in Europe, and is responsible for the development, promotion and administration of the game in the continent.{{cite news|title=Page about ICC Europe (International Cricket Council in Europe)|url=http://www.icc-europe.org/About-ICC-Europe/What-we-do|access-date=3 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161124200556/http://www.icc-europe.org/About-ICC-Europe/What-we-do|archive-date=24 November 2016|url-status=dead}}

The earlier body European Cricket Council used to manage cricket administration for Europe until it was brought under the auspices of the ICC Development programme as ICC Europe in 2008, and later dissolved as an independent body. Since then ICC Europe has succeeded the administrative operations in Europe.
