Army Group Don was a short-lived German army group during World War II.

Army Group Don was created from the headquarters of the Eleventh Army in the southern sector of the Eastern Front on 22 November 1942. The army group only lasted until February 1943 when it was combined with Army Group B and was made into the new Army Group South. The one commander of Army Group Don was Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) Erich von Manstein.

It was created to hold the line between Army Group A and Army Group B.

It consisted of the Sixth Army (Germany) in the Stalingrad pocket, which included the encircled elements of the 4th Panzer Army, together with some remnants of the 4th Romanian army and the reconstituted 4th Panzer Army which was augmented by 4 weak Panzer divisions.
