Landsberg Prison (German: Justizvollzugsanstalt Landsberg, lit. 'Landsberg Justice-Enforcement-Institution') is a prison in the town of Landsberg am Lech in the southwest of the German state of Bavaria, about 65 kilometres (40 mi) west-southwest of Munich and 35 kilometres (22 mi) south of Augsburg. It is best known as the prison where Adolf Hitler was held in 1924 after the failed Beer Hall Putsch in Munich and where he dictated his memoir Mein Kampf to Rudolf Hess.
The prison was used by the Allied powers during the occupation of Germany for holding Nazi war criminals. In 1946, general Joseph T. McNarney, commander in chief of the U.S. Forces of Occupation in Germany, renamed Landsberg War Criminal Prison No. 1 (Kriegsverbrechergefängnis Nr. 1).
