The Comet Line (French: Réseau Comète; 1941–1944) was a Resistance organization in occupied Belgium and France in the Second World War. The Comet Line helped Allied soldiers and airmen shot down over occupied Belgium evade capture by Germans and return to Great Britain. The Comet Line began in Brussels where the airmen were fed, clothed, given false identity papers, and hidden in attics, cellars, and people's homes. A network of volunteers then escorted them south through occupied France into neutral Spain and home via British-controlled Gibraltar. The motto of the Comet Line was "Pugna Quin Percutias", which means "fight without arms", as the organization did not undertake armed or violent resistance to the German occupation.

Het netwerk werd al in het begin van de oorlog opgericht door Andrée de Jongh, een 24-jarige vrouw uit Brussel, vooral om geallieerde piloten, die neergestort waren, te helpen ontsnappen. Het Comètenetwerk bracht tijdens de jaren 1942-1945 zo'n 800 geallieerde soldaten en ongeveer 300 vliegeniers in veiligheid.
