The 2020 Porsche European Open is a professional golf tournament on the European Tour. Since 2015 it has been held every year in Germany, having previously been conteted on various golf courses in the United Kingdom.

The European Open was founded in 1978 and was held at Walton Heath in Surrey, England. Then known as the European Open Championship, the inaugural tournament was won by American Bobby Wadkins.

The European Open then moved to different locations around the United Kingdom, with eight editions held at Sunningdale in Berkshire, England.
