Le fasce mollettiere erano un capo di abbigliamento caratteristico delle uniformi di quasi tutti i Paesi partecipanti alla prima guerra mondiale. Utilizzate per un certo periodo in seguito alla fine del conflitto, esse sono successivamente cadute in disuso in favore delle ghette e delle uose di tela.
