1972 European Formula Two Championship

The 1972 European Formula Two Championship season was contested over 14 rounds mostly on circuits that were not among the European heats of the 1972 Formula One season, with only Österreichring being visited by both series. Several current F1 drivers took part, without collecting points towards the F2 Championship, namely Emerson Fittipaldi who won three F2 races just before also securing his first F1 World Championship.

British Mike Hailwood, a nine-time Grand Prix motorcycle World Champion in the 1960s, was the season champion, driving a Surtees-Ford.
