The 1911 UIAFA European Football Tournament (French: Grand Tournoi européen de football) was an unofficial European Championship organized by UIAFA (Union Internationale Amateur de Football Association), which was competing with FIFA at the time.

The tournament was held within the framework of the 1911 international exhibition of Northern France in Roubaix, France, between 25 and 29 May. It was won by the Bohemia national team (ČSF). Several European national teams participated, which caused some historians, quite preposterously, to term this cup as the first European international championship in the history of football, although that title can also be attributed to the 1908 Olympic Games, which was open to all countries. It was held nearly half a century before the first official European Football Championship in 1960, coincidentally also held in France, and over a decade before the first edition of the Central European International Cup in 1927–1930.
