Volksfront (German for "People's Front") is a Portland, Oregon based Neo-Nazi organization. The group was formed in 1994 by Randall Krager, while in prison for the beating of an African-American man.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a anti-hate group, has added Volksfront to its list of watched groups. [1] Since being formed in 1994, it has expanded to 4 continents and 7 countries, with chapters in nearly 20 American states. They have approximately 1,000 to 1,500 members world-wide, with chapters in Arizona, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Southern California.[2]

In 2004, Stuart McBeth, an Australian neo-nazi and then president of the Patriotic Youth League, founded an Australian chapter of Volksfront. [3]

In 2005, Volksfront's American Chapter helped form the first Official Blood & Honour Division in the United States.^{[citation needed]}
