The Cuncolim Revolt or Cuncolim Massacre (Portuguese: Os Mártires de Cuncolim) was a massacre that occurred on 15 July 1583, when Hindu chieftains in Cuncolim, Portuguese Goa, murdered and mutilated Jesuit priests and civilians. Five priests, one Portuguese civilian, and fourteen Goan Catholics were killed in the incident. The local Portuguese garrison retaliated by executing the village chieftains involved, and destroying the economic infrastructure of Cuncolim.
