The Tartu Credit Center massacre (Estonian: Tartu Krediidikassa massimõrv) was the mass execution of 19 people by the Soviet secret police (then called Cheka). The massacre occurred in the basement of the former Credit Center in Tartu, Estonia, on 14 January 1919. The execution was carried out by order of the Tartu Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution of the Estonian Labor Commune immediately before the retreat of the Red Army from Tartu. Its most prominent victim was Platon Kulbusch, the first Estonian Orthodox bishop.
