Volksfront (German for "people front") is a Portland, Oregon based Neo-Nazi organization. The group was formed in 1994 by Randall Krager, while in prison for the beating of an African-American man.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a controversial anti-hate group, has added Volksfront to its list of watched groups.^{[citation needed]}

Since being formed in 1994, it has expanded to 4 continents and 7 countries, with chapters in nearly 20 American states. They have approximately 1,000 to 1,500 members world-wide, with large chapters in Oregon and Southern California.^{[citation needed]}

In 2004, Stuart McBeth, an Australian neo-nazi and then president of the Patriotic Youth League, founded an Australian chapter of Volksfront.^{[citation needed]}

In 2005, Volksfront's American Chapter helped form the first Official Blood & Honour Division in the United States.^{[citation needed]}
