1945年至1990年德国历史指从1945年纳粹德国于二战被盟军击溃、两德分裂至1990年重新统一的这段历史。当纳粹德国于二战被击溃后，德国因世界东西两大阵营对立而分裂，即两德分裂。德国被剥夺了战争收益，东部领土被波兰和苏联所夺取。在战争结束时，德国有大约800万外国流离失所者;[1] 主要是强迫劳动者和囚犯; 包括来自集中营系统的大约40万人，[2]更多的幸存者，他们死于饥饿，恶劣的条件，谋杀或被处死。超过1000万讲德语的难民从中欧和东欧的其他国家抵达德国。[1]大约900万德国人是战俘，其中许多人被迫作为强迫劳动者数年，为德国在战争中遭受破坏的国家提供恢复原状，并取消了一些工业设备作为赔偿。

冷战时期，德国分别由同盟国占领西部和苏联占领东部。直到1949年东西两国建立时，德国人在政府中几乎没有发言权：
在经历了1955年的莱茵河奇迹后，西德成为欧洲最繁荣的经济体。在康拉德·艾德诺的领导下，西德与法国，美国和以色列建立了牢固的关系。西德也加入了北大西洋公约组织和欧洲经济共同体（后来成为欧盟）。东德由于其经济基本上是为了满足苏联的需要而组织起来，因而停滞不前; 秘密警察（史塔西）严密控制著日常生活，柏林围墙（1961年）结束了向西部不断涌入的难民。德国于1990年重新统一。此后，随著作为东德执政党的统一社会党的衰落和东德的垮台，德国也再次成为世界大国。
