Slaget om Carentan var en kamp om den normanniske by Carentan, under Anden Verdenskrig efter D-Dag. At erobre Carentan var vigtigt, da det holdt tropperne fra Omaha Beach og Utah Beach adskilt. Efter fire dages kamp opnåede de allierede sejren.
Den 6. juni 1944 lancerede de allierede et storstilet luft-, sø- og amfibieangreb. I alt ville mere end 150.000 tropper komme i land på én dag. Amfibieangrebet begyndte omkring kl. 6 om morgenen, mens kl. 00:15 var den 101. Luftbårne Division og den 82. Luftbårne Division allerede landet bag Utah Beach. Faldskærmsjægerne havde til opgave at forhindre de tyske forstærkninger i at nå Utah Beach eller Omaha Beach. General Omar Bradley, chefen for de amerikanske landtropper, mente, at Carentan nødvendigvis måtte erobres, da det udgjorde forbindelsen mellem Utah Beach og Omaha Beach.
