The Barguna massacre (Bengali: বরগুনা গণহত্যা) was the mass execution of unarmed residents of Barguna in the Barguna sub-divisional jail by the Pakistan Armed Forces on 29 and 30 May 1971. More than 100 people were killed. Seventy-two of them were identified; the majority were Bengali Hindus, the rest Muslims, mostly supporters of the Awami League and sovereign Bangladesh.
In 1992, a memorial was constructed with a marble plaque containing the names of the 72 victims and six other victims killed elsewhere.
