Societatea Europeană de Science Fiction este o organizație internațională a profesioniștilor din domeniul SF și a fanilor, care se angajează să promoveze Science Fiction-ul în Europa și Science Fiction-ul European la nivel mondial.
Organizația a fost înființată la prima convenție europeană de science fiction, Eurocon, care a avut loc în 1972 la Trieste, Italia. De atunci, organizația a organizat convențiile europene de science fiction (Eurocon) cel puțin o dată la doi ani. Organizația administrează, de asemenea, Premiile Europene pentru SF.
Criticul Cătălin Badea-Gheracostea trimite an de an propuneri pentru premiile Eurocon. Acestea sunt cele pentru anul 2019, preluate de noi din revista Gazeta SF.
