European Baptist Convention was an association of English-speaking churches and missions in Europe and Middle East. The European Baptist Convention (English Speaking), not to be confused with the European Baptist Federation, has its roots in the Association of Baptists in Continental Europe (ABCE) and mission work by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). It is now known as the International Baptist Convention.
