The European Research Group (ERG) is a research support group and caucus of Eurosceptic Conservative Members of Parliament of the United Kingdom. In a Financial Times article in 2020, the journalist Sebastian Payne described the ERG as "the most influential [research group] in recent political history".

In 2018, the group served an annual average of 21 MPs including cabinet members, the group's focus is the single issue of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. Since the 2024 general election, the membership has been severely reduced.
