The '''Volturno Line''' (also known as the '''Viktor Line'''; {{Langx|de|Volturno-Linie, Viktor-Linie}}, {{Langx|it|Linea del Volturno}}) was a [[Wehrmacht|German]] defensive position in [[Italy]] during the [[Italian Campaign (World War II)|Italian Campaign]] of [[World War II]].

The line ran from [[Termoli]] in the east, along the [[Biferno River]] through the [[Apennine Mountains]] to the [[Volturno|Volturno River]] in the west.

Following the [[Allied invasion of Italy]] in September 1943 the German forces set up a series of defensive lines across Italy, intended to delay the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] advance. The '''Volturno Line''' was the southernmost of these.
