Exercise Tiger, of Operatie Tiger, was de codenaam voor een van de oefeningen voorafgaand aan de D-Day-invasie in Normandië. De oefening vond plaats op 27 april 1944 in Slapton Sands in Devon. Coördinatie- en communicatieproblemen leidde tot doden door eigen vuur, en een konvooi dat zich in positie bracht voor de landing werd door E-boten van de Duitse Kriegsmarine onder vuur genomen. Tijdens de operatie kwamen ten minste 749 Amerikaanse militairen om. In totaal vielen er meer doden dan tijdens de landing op Utah Beach. Door de aanstaande invasie in Normandië gold destijds strikte geheimhouding en werd het incident slechts minimaal gerapporteerd.
