Operation Baytown was a part of the Allied invasion of Italy during World War II on 3 September 1943.

The operation consisted of the landing by sea of the British 13th Corps of British 8th Army at Reggio di Calabria. This allowed the Allied forces to get a foothold at the 'toe' of Italy.

Operation Baytown would be followed by Operation Slapstick and Operation Avalanche.
