The Formula 3000 International Championship was a motor racing series created by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in 1985 to become the final preparatory step for drivers hoping to enter Formula One.

The series ran annually until 2004, and was replaced in 2005 by the GP2 Series.
