欧洲野兔（学名Lepus europaeus）是一种原产于北欧、中欧、西欧及西亚的野兔。

欧洲野兔的体型比兔大，耳朵及脚也较长。牠们的身体约长50-70厘米，尾巴长7-11厘米，可以重达2.5-6.5公斤。牠们奔跑的速度可达每小时72公里。牠们是完全草食性的，夏天会吃草，冬天则会吃树枝、树皮及幼芽，故对果树种植是一种危害。

欧洲野兔栖息在温带的郊野，并会在此繁殖。牠们一般都很害羞，但到了春天就会在草原上互相追逐。有时会见到牠们互相打斗，最初以为是雄兔间的竞争，但后来发现其实是雌兔打击雄兔，可能是因牠们未适合交配的反应。

The European hare (Lepus europaeus), also known as the brown hare, is a species of hare native to Europe and parts of Western Asia and Central Asia. It is a mammal adapted to temperate, open country. It is related to and looks very similar to the European rabbit, which is in the same family but in a different genus. Hares are larger than the European rabbit, have longer ears and hind legs and breed on the ground rather than in a burrow. They rely on speed to escape from predators.
