The Close Combat Badge (Nahkampfspange) was a German military decoration of the Second World War, instituted on November 25, 1942, to reward soldiers who had taken part in hand-to-hand combat. Although primarily intended for the infantry, other ground units of the Heer, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe and Fallschirmjäger (parachutists) were also eligible.

The Luftwaffe version, instituted in November 1944, featured a Luftwaffe eagle and swastika surmounting a crossed bayonet and hand grenade, all in silver, flanked by two oak leaves in bronze, silver or gold to indicate class. Although manufacturing authorizations were given, there is no evidence that it was actually manufactured and presented before the end of the war.
