The European Federation of Building and Woodworkers (EFBWW) is a European trade union federation.
In 1958, several European unions founded an informal group, the Joint European Committee for the Building and Woodworking Sector. In 1974, this was refounded on a formal basis, as the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers in the European Economic Community. It was renamed as the EFBWW in 1983, and the following year, it was recognised by the European Trade Union Confederation. By 1999, it had 51 affiliates, with a total of 3.1 million members.
The federation works closely with the Nordic Federation of Building and Woodworkers, which brings together unions in Northern Europe.
