Evropeidna rasa (kavkazoidna rasa) je prema nekadašnjoj, a danas uglavnom odbačenoj rasnoj podeli,[1] jedna od triju glavnih ljudskih rasa, uz negroidnu i mongoloidnu. Autohtono je rasprostranjena u Evropi, severnoj Africi, severnoj Indiji i jugozapadnoj Aziji, a alohtono u Americi, Australiji i južnoj Africi.[2][3][4]

Glavne fizičke značajke ove rase su svetla ili mrka koža, ravna, meka ili talasasta kosa, razijena tercijarna kosmatost, tanke usne i uzak nos. Boja kose i očiju varira od svetlih do tamnih nijansi.

U modernijim klasifikacijama, evropeidnu ili kavkazoidnu rasu zamenjuje pojam "belci" ili "bela rasa", te se uglavnom rabi kod samoidentifikacije u popisima stanovništva nekih država poput Sjedinjenih Američkih Država,[5][6] Kanade, Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Južnoafričke Republike. Tu su praksu odbacile mnoge države, poput Nemačke, Australije,[7] Argentine,[8] i Kolumbije,[9] gde se u popisima ne postavljaju pitanja rase ili boje kože.
