The 2008 Rallye Deutschland was the tenth round of the 2008 World Rally Championship season.

Loeb's teammate Dani Sordo took second place, eventually starting a series of three double wins for the Citroën Total World Rally Team.

In the Junior World Rally Championship, Sébastien Ogier closed in on the title with his third win of the season.

Gigi Galli retired after crashing heavily on the fifth stage and fracturing his left femur.

The recovery was expected to take five months, and he missed the five last rallies of the season.
