Nur für Deutsche (German: "For Germans only"): during World War II in many German-occupied countries, is a racialist slogan. Signs bearing this admonition were posted at entrances to parks, cafes, cinemas, theaters and other facilities reserved for Germans only.

In German-occupied Poland, racial segregation was nearly complete. In streetcars and trains, the first car was usually reserved for German administrative and military personnel, Nazi party members, and German civilians. All other nationalities regarded by them as Untermenschen were to use the remaining car(s).

In Polish partisan parlance, toxic or otherwise undrinkable moonshine was jocularly called "nur für Deutsche". Partisans were also fond of painting the words "nur für Deutsche" on graveyard fences.

Some parks in the International Settlement of Shanghai were only for Anglo-Saxons, Anglo-Saxon Americans and their Chinese servants. Eugenetical theories circa 1900 claimed that the Anglo-Saxon 'race' was the most evolved compared with other 'races' (nations).

The southern United States and South Africa used to have signs to exclude white from black.
