The European Water Polo Championship is a sport competition for national water polo teams, currently held biannually and organized by the Ligue Européenne de Natation (LEN), the governing European aquatics federation. There are both men's and women's competitions.

The first European Water Polo Championship was held in 1926 in Budapest, Hungary, with just a men's competition. The women for the first time competed in 1985 (Oslo, Norway) for the European title. The water polo tournament was part of the European Aquatics Championships up to and including 1997, and from 1999 the event was separated and got its own independent tournament.

**EM i vandpolo**

EM i vandpolo er en europæisk vandpoloturnering for landshold. Turneringen afholdes hvert andet år, og det første EM blev afholdt i 1926.

Turneringen er opdelt i to divisioner, A-divisionen og B-divisionen. De bedste hold i Europa spiller i A-divisionen, mens de resterende hold spiller i B-divisionen.

Vinderen af A-divisionen kvalificerer sig til VM i vandpolo, der afholdes året efter.

Danmark har deltaget i EM i vandpolo flere gange, men har endnu ikke vundet en medalje.
