歐洲螯龍蝦(學名:Homarus gammarus)是螯龍蝦屬的一種龍蝦,為體型較大的甲殼類,體長可長至約60公分,重約5—6公斤,但自捕龍蝦器捕獲的個體一般僅長23—38公分,重0.7—2.2公斤[3]。本種生長於水深0—150公尺的大陸棚區域(多生長於水深淺於50公尺處),偏好岩石等較硬的基質,居於洞中,並於夜間外出活動,以其他海洋無脊椎動物為食[2]。歐洲螯龍蝦與同屬的美洲螯龍蝦外形相似且親緣關係接近,兩者在人工飼養時可以雜交[4] 。
歐洲螯龍蝦最早於1758年由林奈發表描述於《自然系統》第十版,當時被分入黃道蟹屬中,名為Cancer gammarus[5];後來又有學者將其歸入螯虾属。1795年,弗里德里希·韦伯建立新屬螯龍蝦屬(Homarus)並以本種為模式種[6],正模標本是由利普克·霍爾特赫伊斯於1794年在瑞典外海採集,但今已不存[2]。
歐洲螯龍蝦分布於東大西洋(北至挪威北部,南至摩洛哥與亞速群島,不包括波羅的海)、地中海與黑海西南部水域[2],最北的分布地點蒂斯峡湾與福爾達峽灣已在北極圈內[7]。本種已因地理隔離而分化出四大族群,分別分布於大西洋、挪威北部[7]、地中海(特別是愛琴海)以及荷蘭沿岸部分海域[8][9],後三者因有效族群較小,為適應當地環境已累積一定程度的遺傳變異[8]。1904年至1914年歐洲殖民者可能曾嘗試將本種龍蝦與其他蝦蟹一起引入紐西蘭,但本種未在當地建立族群[10]。
歐洲螯龍蝦在歐洲被作為高級的食材[11],可賣得高價[2]。十七世紀的英格蘭民謠The Crabfish描述的應即是本種[12]。2008年共有近4400公噸的歐洲螯龍蝦被捕獲,其中近八成為在英國海域捕獲[13]。目前已有許多研究嘗試以水產養殖的方式飼養歐洲螯龍蝦[14]。
