Unterseeboat 269, also known as U-269, was a German type VIIC submarine during the Second World War. It was laid down September 18, 1941 at Bremer Vulkan, Bremen-Vegesack and commissioned on 19 August 1942.

The submarine failed to sink or damage any craft, but neither did it lose any crew members prior to its sinking.

U-269 was sunk by depth charges from the British frigate HMS Bickerton on 25 June 1944 in the English Channel southeast of Torquay. The attack left 13 dead and 39 survivors. Her wreck was located in 1961, during a search for the British submarine HMS Affray.
