The Fossoli camp was a camp complex in the village of Fossoli, in Carpi, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, used across several distinct phases during and after the Second World War. It began in 1942 as a prisoner of war camp, was then used as a Jewish concentration camp and a police and transit camp, later served as a labour collection centre for forced deportation to Germany, and finally operated as a refugee camp before closing in 1970. The site is preserved today as a memorial to this history.
