In this talk I will review the European Euclid Dark Energy Space Mission, and discuss its Primary Science objectives to make high-precision measurements of Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Massive Neutrinos, Modified Gravity and the Early Universe. To achieve this Euclid will carry out a Wide Field Imaging, Multiband and Spectroscopic Survey for Weak Lensing and Galaxy Clustering, starting in 2020, which will provide a significant legacy to many areas in Astronomy.
