Bastogne er en by og kommune i den belgiske provins Luxembourg. Byen har over 16.000 indbyggere, som kaldes Bastogneere. Bastogne er især blevet kendt for Slaget om Bastogne under Ardenneroffensivet i december 1944. Efter at de allierede styrker havde befriet størstedelen af Belgien, iværksatte dele af den tyske Wehrmacht en modoffensiv i retning mod Maas. Bastogne, forsvarende af den amerikanske 101. Airborne Division under ledelse af general Anthony McAuliffe, blev fra den 21. til Pattons gennembrud den 26. december omringet af den tyske hær. Amerikanerne holdt stand. Da en tysk forhandler kom for at bede ham om at overgive sig, svarede McAuliffe ifølge overleveringen "Nuts!" hvilket på amerikansk engelsk betyder "nonsens!"
