欧防风（学名：Pastinaca sativa）为伞形科欧防风属的植物，分布在欧洲等地，目前已由人工引种栽培。

欧洲防风，民间俗称“芹菜萝卜”，又名美洲防风、欧防风、欧洲萝卜、蒲芹萝卜、欧独活、白甘笋。

欧洲防风的历史十分悠久，在古希腊和古罗马时代已有栽培。欧美国家有食用欧防风的传统习惯。中国引入欧洲防风已有百年的历史，但种植面积却很小。 欧洲防风的白色肉质根肥大突出，这也是它主要的食用部位。从大小、形状和风味来看，它与胡萝卜差不多。不过欧洲防风比胡萝卜的水分多，口感更脆一些。

欧洲防风营养极为丰富，碳水化合物含量很高，营养与马铃薯类似. 与胡萝卜相比，欧洲防风在干物质含量上占上风。最特别的一点，欧洲防风胡萝卜素含量很少，但含钾尤其丰富。

The parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a root vegetable closely related to the carrot and parsley. It is a biennial plant usually grown as an annual. Its long tuberous root has cream-colored skin and flesh and can be left in the ground when mature as it becomes sweeter in flavor after winter frosts. In its first growing season, the plant has a rosette of pinnate, mid-green leaves. If unharvested, it produces its flowering stem, topped by an umbel of small yellow flowers, in its second growing season. By this time the stem is woody and the tuber inedible. The seeds are pale brown, flat and winged.
