Wave of Terror in Europe, sometimes also referred as the Intifada in Europe, is the period of increased popular terrorist activity on the European continent, erupting since 2014 or early 2015 and continuing into mid-2016.

Though mostly, the incidents of terror across the continent have been unrelated with each other, the Wave of Terror has often been associated with the rise of radical Islam, with many isolated individuals who sympathise with the jihadist movement, as well as the more specific Spillover of the Syrian Civil War associated with the Jihadist activity of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

According to The Guardian, eight attacks occurred in France within "eighteen months of terror" from June 2015 to July 2016, including fatal attacks in Île-de-France, Saint-Quentin-Fallavier and Paris. The November 2015 attacks in Paris were motivated by ISIL as a "retaliation" for the French role in Syrian Civil War and Iraqi War.
