The 2021 Rink Hockey European Championship (originally scheduled to be held in 2020, at La Roche-sur-Yon, and named EuroRink 2020[3]), was the 54th edition of the Rink Hockey European Championship, a biennial tournament for men's national roller hockey teams of Europe organised by World Skate Europe – Rink Hockey. It took place between 15 and 20 November in Paredes, Portugal.

Spain were the defending champions and successfully defended their title, defeating France 2−1 (after extra time) in the final to claim their second consecutive title and eighteenth overall.
