The Massacres of Mousiotitsa (Greek: Οι σφαγές της Μουσιωτίτσας; German: Massaker von Mousiotitsa) refer to Nazi war crimes perpetrated in the summer of 1943 by soldiers of the 1st Mountain Division in the village of Mousiotitsa, Greece, during its occupation by the Axis in World War II. Mousiotitsa endured two assaults by the same German unit, separated by a one-month period. The first took place on 25 July and the second on 27 August 1943.
