Écurie Nationale Belge (the accurate name being Équipe Nationale Belge or ENB) was a Formula One and sportscar racing team in the 1950s and 1960s, which was formed through a merger of Jacques Swaters' Écurie Francorchamps and Johnny Claes' Écurie Belge. However, Écurie Francorchamps remained active independently, entering works and privately owned Ferraris.
