The 1994 European Grand Prix (formally the XXXIX Gran Premio de Europa) was a Formula One motor race held on 16 October 1994 at the Circuito Permanente de Jerez, Jerez, Spain. It was the fourteenth race of the 1994 Formula One season. The 69-lap race was won by Benetton driver Michael Schumacher after he started from pole position. Damon Hill finished second for the Williams team with McLaren driver Mika Häkkinen third.
This race originally was to be return of the Argentine Grand Prix, but those plans were aborted in May 1994 as the track, which was undergoing modernization since 1991, was not finished yet. The FIA moved the race to Jerez and named it the European Grand Prix midseason. The series went to Argentina the following year for the 1995 Argentine Grand Prix.
