The Mius-Front was a heavily fortified German Nazi defensive line along the Mius River in the Donbas region of the Soviet Union and Ukraine during World War II.
It was created by the Germans in October 1941, under direction of General Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist.
The defense area included some 800 Russian and Ukrainian settlements located within the line's long zone.

The depth of the minefields zone was at least 200 metres (660 ft), and backed up by 20–30 pillboxes or bunkers per square kilometre (52–78/sq mi).
