The 159th Infantry Division "Veneto" (Italian: 159ª Divisione di fanteria "Veneto") was an infantry division of the Royal Italian Army during World War II.

On 1 June 1943 the Veneto was disbanded and its units used to reform the 52nd Infantry Division "Torino".

[1][2] The division's lineage begins with the Brigade "Veneto" raised on 12 March 1917 with the 255th and 256th infantry regiments.

[1][3][4] Initially the Veneto was based in Udine with its units in Cividale del Friuli, Tarcento, and San Pietro al Natisone in the upper Venezia Giulia region along the Italy-Yugoslav border.

The division continued its anti-partisan activities until April 1943, when it was recalled to Udine, where it was disbanded on 1 June 1943 and its units used to reform the 52nd Infantry Division "Torino", which had been destroyed during winter 1942/43 on the Eastern Front.
