List of impact craters in Europe

This list includes all 41 of confirmed impact craters in Europe as listed in the Earth Impact Database (EID). These features were caused by the collision of large meteorites or comets with the Earth. For eroded or buried craters, the stated diameter typically refers to an estimate of original rim diameter, and may not correspond to present surface features. By EID convention, Russian and Asian craters are grouped together in the List of impact craters in Asia and Russia.

Unconfirmed impact craters

Main article: List of unconfirmed impact craters on Earth

The following craters are officially considered "unconfirmed" because they are not listed in the Earth Impact Database. Due to stringent requirements regarding evidence and peer-reviewed publication, newly discovered craters or those for which it is difficult to collect evidence are generally known for some time before becoming listed. However, entries on the unconfirmed list could still have an impact origin disproven.

Name	Location	Diameter	Age	Coordinates
Guarda	Portugal	30	200 million (approx.)
Silverpit	North Sea near England	8	60 ± 15 million
Sirente	Italy	largest 140 x 115 m	1700 years (approx.)
Ullapool	Loch Broom, Scotland	50	1.2 billion
Zerelia East	Thessaly, Greece	150 m	at least 7000 years
Zerelia West	Thessaly, Greece	250 m	at least 7000 years
