The 1993 Men's European Volleyball Championship was the 18th edition of the event, organized by Europe's governing volleyball body, the Confédération Européenne de Volleyball.

*Note: Although the Czech Republic and Slovakia became separate countries in 1993, the Czechoslovakia Volleyball Federation (ČSFV) was not yet separate, therefore the team competed as Czechoslovakia (officially as Czech Republic + Slovak Republic).

The teams competed in a round-robin format, with the top teams from each group advancing to the final round.

[2] Teams played against each other within their groups, and the results of these matches determined which teams advanced to the final round.

The top four teams from each group moved on to compete in the quarterfinals.
