The Greek Resistance (, i.e., "National Resistance") is the blanket term for a number of armed and unarmed groups from across the political spectrum that resisted the Axis occupation of Greece in the period 1941–1944, during World War II. The Greek resistance is widely considered to be one of the fiercest resistance movements in occupied Europe, if not the fiercest, causing innumerable damages to the then Axis government of Greece.
