The European Heavyweight Championship is a name used for various top titles competed for throughout the European professional wrestling circuit.

Fédération Française de Catch Professionnel is a professional wrestling promotion based in France, originally active from 1933 until 1989. and later revived in the 21st century. The organization was founded by Raoul Paoli and functioned as a governing body somewhat similar to the U.S.-based National Wrestling Alliance, the British Joint Promotions, the German VdB or the Spanish CIC. With Henri Deglane as its headliner, the promotion set a number of attendance records in the 1930s that remained unbroken in France and continental Europe until the arrival of the World Wrestling Federation in the late 1980s. In 2006, the promotion was revived by former FFCP wrestler Marc Mercier who ran several national tours in conjunction with his Catch Academy wrestling school in 2007–08, and again in 2018.
