Operasi Mincemeat adalah rencana operasi disinformasi Inggris yang sukses selama Perang Dunia II. Bagian dari Operasi Barclay, penipuan besar untuk menutupi invasi Italia dari Africa Utara, Mincemeat membantu meyakinkan komando tertinggi Jerman bahwa Sekutu merencanakan menyerang Yunani dan Sardinia pada tahun 1943, bukan Sisilia, tujuan sebenarnya. Hal ini dilakukan dengan membiarkan Jerman mendapatkan, tanpa sengaja, dokumen rahasia tentang rencana penyerangan sekutu. Dokumen tersebut kelekat pada mayat di sebuah pantai di Punta Umbría, Spanyol.[1] Keberhasilan peletakan dokumen palsu dikonfirmasikan melalui pesan kode Ultra Jerman.
