The Ostrogozhsk-Rossosh operation (Russian: Острогожско-Россошанская операция) was an offensive of the Voronezh Front on the Eastern Front of World War II against the Hungarian 2nd Army and partially Italian 8th Army. The offensive was supported from the south by the right flank of the Soviet 6th Army and the 3rd Guards Tank Army of Pavel Rybalko.

^ Some sources give January 12 as the start of the operation. On this day the combat reconnaissance ("probing") was carried out by Soviet advance guard troops. The major Soviet forces were put into action on the next day.
