European route E47 is a road (part of the United Nations international E-road network) connecting Lübeck in Germany to Helsingborg in Sweden via the Danish capital Copenhagen.

At the introduction of the new numbering scheme in 1992, the E47 was originally devised to continue from Helsingborg northward through Sweden and Norway to Gothenburg, Oslo, Trondheim and finally Olderfjord, replacing almost all of the old European route E6.

After negotiations between UNECE and the Swedish and Norwegian authorities, this plan was abandoned, and the E6 remains designated as such, both on signage and in the official documents, throughout its entire old length in Scandinavia (including the snippets Trelleborg–Malmö and Malmö–Helsingborg, which are concurrent with the E22 and the E20 respectively, and were never intended to become parts of the E47).

These two roads are the most conspicuous exceptions to the rule that even numbers signify west-to-east E-roads.

The northern terminus is at the ferry port in Helsingborg, where the European route E4 begins.
