重返帝國（德語：Heim ins Reich；意為「回到帝國故土」）是阿道夫·希特拉在第二次世界大戰期間奉行的外交政策。此政策於1938年開始，希特拉的倡議旨在說服所有居住在納粹德國（例如奧地利、捷克斯洛伐克和波蘭西部地區）以外的德意志裔人口努力從這些地區「重返」到大德意志帝國中。他還要求德意志人而且還要從自《蘇德互不侵犯條約》簽訂後不歸屬德國的波蘭東部地區西遷。重返帝國政策的對象主要是《凡爾賽條約》後新生的波蘭以及其他德國大量居民居住的地區，例如蘇台德，但澤以及1939年10月6日以後的歐洲東南和東北地區[2]。

In a keynote address to the Reichstag to mark the end of the 'Polish campaign', Hitler announced on October 6, 1939 ... the Heim ins Reich (Back to the Reich) program. The prospect horrified many ethnic Germans, much of whose enthusiasm for Nazism had been predicated on the expectation that the boundaries of the Reich would, as in the cases of Austria, the Sudetenland, and Danzig, extend to embrace them. The prospect of being uprooted from their homes to face an uncertain future not even in Germany proper, but in the considerably less salubrious environment of western Poland, was much less attractive. So far from rallying enthusiastically to the Führer's call, therefore, many Volksdeutsche greeted the declaration of the Heim in Reich initiative with a deep sense of betrayal.
