There were two battles of El Alamein in World War II, both fought in 1942. The Battles occurred in North Africa, in Egypt, in and around an area named after a railway stop called El Alamein.

In addition, the Battle of Alam el Halfa (30 August – 5 September 1942) was fought between both battles and in the same location.
