The women's individual pursuit at the UEC European Track Championships was first competed in 2014 in Guadeloupe, France.[1] Katie Archibald dominated the event in its early years, winning its first four editions, before finally being pushed into silver in 2018 by Lisa Brennauer of Germany and bronze in 2019 behind Franziska Brausse of Germany.

Brausse and Brennauer are the only multiple winners beside Archibald with two titles each. Archibald is the only rider to retain the title, which she did three times.

The event from a national viewpoint has been entirely dominated by Germany and Great Britain, taking all of the first twelve titles and over two-thirds of all available medals between them.

Beginning in 2025, the distance of the event increased from 3000 metres to 4000 metres to match the men's individual event, with Great Britain's Anna Morris taking the first 4000 metre title in a new world record.
