The Fédération d'action nationale et européenne (FANE) was a small French far-right organisation founded in April 1966. Openly Neo-Nazi, it was led by Mark Fredriksen, a bank employee who became involved in activism for French Algeria after serving in the paras (paratroopers) there. FANE brought together three movements: Action-Occident, the Cercle Charlemagne and the Comité de soutien à l'Europe réelle.

FANE activity was limited: the group had at most a hundred activists. It published a review, Notre Europe, related to François Duprat's Revolutionary Nationalist Groups (GNR), and a news sheet, L'Immonde, which exalted "National-Socialist and White" Europe and proclaimed the "struggle to the death against the Judeo-materialist hydra." Members of FANE included Luc Michel, now leader of the Parti communautaire national-européen (National European Community Party), Jacques Bastide, Michel Faci, Michel Caignet and Henri-Robert Petit, a journalist and former collaborationist who had directed the newspaper Le Pilori under the Vichy regime. The FANE maintained international contacts with the British group the League of Saint George.

The FANE rallied Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front in 1974, gathered around François Duprat and Alain Renault's Revolutionary Nationalist Groups (GNR). It broke with the FN again in 1978, taking with it parts of the FNJ members (youth organization of the FN).
