The following is a list of Nazi German concentration camps. Concentration camps were first established within Germany shortly after the Nazis' accession to power in 1933. Camps were subsequently established in countries that Germany either annexed (e.g., Austria) or acquired by military force after the outbreak of war (e.g., Netherlands, Poland). While some camps were short-lived, others remained in use until the military defeat of Germany at the end of World War II.

Extermination camps are marked with pink, while major concentration camps of other types are marked with blue.
