The World Fair of 1910 (Exposition Universelle et Internationale) was a world fair held in Brussels from April 23 to November 1, 1910. The Bureau International des Expositions has retrospectively recognized this exhibition as the 17th universal world exhibition.

Several pavilions were destroyed by a fire on 14 and 15 August. Part of the Belgian and French sections were destroyed, but the worst hit was the English section. All attractions of the Luna Park and Brussels Fair were also destroyed. After the fire, some destroyed parts of the exhibition were rebuilt at a rapid pace.
