European Heritage (Spanish: Patrimonio Europeo, French: Patrimoine Européen) is an intergovernmental cultural heritage project by several European countries intended to be conducted under European Union auspices. In 2009, it is administered by the Ministry of Culture of Spain.

The European Heritage label is "intended to emphasise the European dimension of the cultural goods, monuments, urban and natural sites and memorials that are a testimony to history and European heritage." According to a European Commission document of 2009, European Heritage is intended to be distinct from existing international cultural heritage initiatives, such as the UNESCO World Heritage programme,
