The Men's EuroHockey Indoor Championship is an international men's indoor hockey competition organized by the European Hockey Federation. The winning team becomes the champion of Europe. The tournament serves as a qualification tournament for the Indoor Hockey World Cup.[1]

The tournament is part of the EuroHockey Indoor Championships and is the highest level in the men's competition. The lowest two teams each year are relegated to the EuroHockey Indoor Championship II and replaced by the highest two teams from that competition. From 2024 onwards the tournament will be played with ten instead of eight teams.[2]

The tournament has been won by three different teams: Germany has the most titles with seventeen, Austria has three titles and Russia has won the tournament once. The most recent edition was held in Leuven, Belgium and was won by Germany.
