The Štrpci massacre (Bosnian: Masakr u Štrpcima) was the massacre of 19 civilians (18 Bosniaks and one Croat) on 27 February 1993, taken from a Belgrade-Bar train at Štrpci railway station near Višegrad, on Bosnian territory.
Members of the Serbian Avengers (Osvetnici) paramilitary unit, commanded by Milan Lukić, were responsible for the abductions and subsequent massacre. The Štrpci massacre, Bosanska Jagodina massacre, Sjeverin massacre, and the Višegrad massacres were part of a campaign of senseless wrath attacks conducted against Bosniaks in the Višegrad area by Lukić and his paramilitary unit.
