Operation Baytown was a part of the Allied invasion of Italy during World War II on 3 September 1943.

The operation consisted of the landing by sea of the British 13th Army Corps of British 8th Army at Reggio di Calabria. This allowed the Allied forces to get a foothold at the 'toe' of Italy.

Operation Baytown would be followed by Operation Slapstick and Operation Avalanche.
