This is a list of matches of FC Dnipro in European competitions. Between 1965 (Soviet Union teams debuted in Europe) and 2019, 20 times Dnipro qualified for the European continental club competitions and once reached a final (2015) when it was defeated by the Spanish team of Sevilla in Warsaw.

Dnipro made its debut in 1985 as the winner of the 1983 Soviet Top League and qualifying to the 1984–85 European Cup. It managed to defeat the Turkish champions Trabzonspor on aggregate. That season it reached quarterfinals and were defeated by the French champions Bordeaux on penalties after both matches were tied at 1.

Due to direct sanctions from FIFA, for refusing to pay salary to coaching and playing staff, at first Dnipro was denied license of play in European competition by placing third in the 2015–16 season and then in the season of 2016–17 it was forced into relegation by administrative measures from the Ukrainian Association of Football (at that time Football Federation of Ukraine) all the way to amateur competitions and after couple of seasons were disbanded by its owners (Ihor Kolomoiskyi and his Privat Group).

In 2017 a similar club from the same city SC Dnipro-1 was established supposedly by different people and officially has no relations to the club established in the Soviet Union.
