Kempen Tunisia (juga dikenali sebagai Pertempuran Tunisia) merupakan siri pertempuran yang berlaku di Tunisia semasa Kempen Afrika Utara dalam Perang Dunia II, antara tentera Paksi dan Bersekutu. Pihak Bersekutu terdiri daripada Tentera Imperial British, termasuk kontinjen Greece, bersama kor Amerika dan kor Perancis. Pertempuran ini dimulakan dengan kejayaan awal oleh tentera Jerman dan Itali tetapi halangan besar pembekalan menyebabkan kekalahan muktamad pihak Paksi. Lebih 250,000 askar Jerman dan askar Itali telah menjadi tawanan perang, termasuk sebahagian besar Afrika Korps.

Nota kaki
2/3 of the combat troops and 1/3 of the support troops were Germans[1] Operational tanks only[1] 183 lost in the Battle of Kasserine Pass, 6 lost in the Battle of Medenine, 40 lost in the Battle of El Guettar, 16 lost in Operation Oxhead (Operation Ochsenkopf), at least 51 lost in the Battle of the Mareth Line, 32 lost in the Battle of Wadi Akarit, 12 lost in Operation Vulcan and several more lost in minor battles.[1] Mitcham lists the following tank losses with no upper limit and no noted losses to mechanical breakdowns. 34 (20 German, 14 Italian) lost in the Battle of Kasserine Pass, 55 (40 German, 15 Italian) lost in the Battle of Medenine, 45 (mostly German) lost in the Battle of El Guettar, 71 (all German) lost in Operation Oxhead (Operation Ochsenkopf) and 200+ operational tanks (mostly German) lost in actions after March 9. Mitcham also notes that a very large number of tanks were not operational at the time due to previous mechanical issues; for instance, by April 22, only 45% of German tanks were operational, with the rest confined to workshops. Therefore the actual number of tanks lost after March 9 is possibly around 450 rather than 200.[2]
