German submarine U-569 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. She carried out nine patrols, sank one ship of 984 gross register tons (GRT) and damaged one other of 4,458 GRT. She was a member of 15 wolfpacks. She was attacked by US carrier-borne aircraft from USS Bogue in mid-Atlantic on 22 May 1943 and surrendered, but was scuttled and abandoned when help arrived.
