The Austrian Occupation Medal, also known as the Anschluss Medal or the Medal of the March 13th 1938, was a decoration issued by Nazi Germany to commemorate the annexation of Austria (Anschluss) in 1938. This annexation involved the incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany, and it was a significant step in Adolf Hitler's expansionist ambitions leading up to World War II.

The medal was instituted on May 1, 1938, and it was awarded to all German military and civilian personnel who participated in the occupation of Austria. It was awarded to those who served in Austria on March 12 and 13, 1938, the days immediately following the annexation. The medal featured a swastika on the obverse side, surrounded by the words "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" (One People, One Empire, One Leader). The reverse side depicted the date "13. März 1938" (March 13, 1938) along with an image of the old and new borders of Austria.
