List Of European Le Mans Series Champions
The European Le Mans Series (ELMS) is a European endurance motor racing championship organised by the umbrella organisation Le Mans Endurance Management and administered by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) automobile club. Michel Cosson, the ACO president, launched the Le Mans Endurance Series (LMES) in 2004 following the success of the American Le Mans Series at applying ACO rules in the United States. It was renamed the Le Mans Series (LMS) in 2006 and became the ELMS in 2012. It is regarded as a stepping stone for competitors aspiring to the ACO's highest endurance series, the FIA World Endurance Championship. The ACO awards European championships and trophies to the most successful drivers and teams in each of the series' categories over the course of a season. Points are awarded for individual race results as well as taking pole position, with the highest tally of points winning the respective championship or trophy. At the conclusion of the season, four champions and one runner-up receive an automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The champions are not formally crowned until the ELMS awards ceremony after the season's final race.

There were four classes when the LMES was founded in 2004: Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Gran Turismo Special (GTS) and Grand Touring (GT). The GTS and GT categories were replaced by the Le Mans Grand Touring 1 (LMGT1) and the Le Mans Grand Touring 2 (LMGT2) classes in 2005. During the 2009 season, the entry-level Formula Le Mans Cup ran separate races at LMS events. Formula Le Mans (FLM) was later absorbed into the series in 2010. In 2011, the Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance Pro (LMGTE Pro) and Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance Am (LMGTE Am) categories replaced the LMGT2 class while LMGT1 was discontinued. The following year, LMP2 replaced LMP1 as the ELMS' top class and FLM was renamed Le Mans Prototype Challenge (LMPC) which remained until 2013.

LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am were merged to become the LMGTE class in 2013, and the Grand Touring Challenge (GTC) category for Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA; motor racing's world governing body)-homologated GT3 cars began racing that same year. In 2015, the Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) category was introduced and the GTC class was discontinued when the season ended. A Pro-Am subcategory for teams fielding at least one bronze-rated racer was added to the LMP2 class in 2021. An overall championship for both drivers and teams was introduced in the 2023 season. The LMGTE category was discontinued following the 2023 season and was replaced by the LMGT3 class for GT3 machinery in 2024.

As of the 2023 season, 143 drivers and 52 teams have won an ELMS title. Marc Lieb is the most successful ELMS driver with four championships and Proton Competition are the series' most successful team with six titles. There have been 83 drivers and 33 teams who have won a title in the LMP classes. Paul-Loup Chatin and Emmanuel Collard have earned the most LMP drivers' titles with three each and G-Drive Racing have achieved the most LMP teams' championships with four. Of the 53 drivers and 19 teams to have achieved a GT championship, Lieb's four championship wins are the most in the GT classes and Proton Competition have claimed all six of their teams' titles in the GT categories.
