Largest earthquakes by magnitude
Listed below are all known earthquakes measured or estimated to have a magnitude of 8.5 or above on the moment magnitude or Richter scales.
This list is biased towards recent years due to development and widespread deployment of seismometers. Also, records that were detailed enough to make magnitude estimates (est.) were not generally available before 1900.[2]

Deadliest earthquakes on record
Rank | Name | Date | Location | Fatalities | Magnitude | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | "Shaanxi" | January 23, 1556 | Shaanxi, China | 820,000–830,000 (est.)[14] | 8.0 (est.) | Estimated death toll in Shaanxi, China. |
2 | "Haiyuan" | December 16, 1920 | Ningxia–Gansu, China | 273,400[15][16] | 7.8 | Major fractures, landslides. |
3 | "Tangshan" | July 28, 1976 | Hebei, China | 242,769[16][17] | 7.8 | |
4 | "Antioch" | May 21, 526 | Antioch, Turkey (then Byzantine Empire) | 240,000[18] | 7.0 (est.)[19] | Procopius (II.14.6), sources based on John of Ephesus. |
5 | "Indian Ocean" | December 26, 2004 | Indian Ocean, Sumatra, Indonesia | 230,210+[20][21] | 9.1–9.3 | Deaths from earthquake and resulting tsunami. |
6 | "Aleppo" | October 11, 1138 | Aleppo, Syria | 230,000 | Unknown | The figure of 230,000 dead is based on a historical conflation of this earthquake with earthquakes in November 1137 on the Jazira plain and on September 30, 1139 in the Azerbaijani city of Ganja. The first mention of a 230,000 death toll was by Ibn Taghribirdi in the fifteenth century.[22] |
7 | "Haiti" | January 12, 2010 | Haiti | 100,000–316,000 | 7.0 | Estimates vary from 316,000 (Haitian government) to 222,570 (UN OCHA estimate)[23] to 158,000 (Medicine, Conflict and Survival) to between 85,000 and 46,000 (report commissioned by USAID).[24][25] |
8 | "Damghan" | December 22, 856 | Damghan, Iran | 200,000 (est.) | 7.9 Ms (est.) | |
9 | "Ardabil" | March 22, 893 | Ardabil, Iran | 150,000 (est.) | Unknown | Reports probably relate to the 893 Dvin earthquake, due to misreading of the Arabic word for Dvin, 'Dabil' as 'Ardabil'.[26] This is regarded as a 'fake earthquake'.[27] |
10 | "Aleppo" | November 29, 533 | Syria | 130,000[28] | ? | |
11 | "Messina" | December 28, 1908 | Messina, Italy | 123,000[29] | 7.1 | The ground shook for 30 to 40 seconds around 5:20 am, and destruction occurred within a 300 km radius. 93% of structures in Messina were destroyed and ~70,000 residents died. Rescuers searched for weeks, and whole families were pulled out alive days later. A 40-foot (12 m) tsunami struck nearby coasts. Reggio Calabria on the Italian mainland also suffered heavy damage. |
12 | "Ashgabat" | October 6, 1948 | Ashgabat, Turkmen SSR (modern-day Turkmenistan) | 110,000[30] | 7.3 | |
13 | "Great Kantō" | September 1, 1923 | Kantō region, Japan | 105,385[31] | 7.9 | This earthquake with an epicenter beneath Izu Ōshima Island in Sagami Bay, shook the Kantō plain on the Japanese island of Honshū at 11:58 am. Shaking duration reported between 4 and 10 minutes, devastating Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka.[32] Shaking slid the 93-ton Great Buddha statue at Kamakura almost two feet forward.[33] Casualty estimates range from 100,000 to 142,800, the latter figure including ~40,000 missing later presumed dead. |
14 | "Chihli" | September 27, 1290 | Ningcheng, China | 100,000[34] | 6.8 Ms | |
15 | "Kashmir" | October 8, 2005 | Muzaffarabad, Pakistan | 86,000–87,351[35][36][37][38] | 7.6 | Affecting an area (mostly rugged terrain) of about 30,000 km2 [11,600 sq mi], this earthquake damaged about 6,440 km [4,000 mi] of roads, and 50-70% of services, including power, water and sanitation. Approximately 400,153 houses, 6,298 schools and 796 health facilities were damaged or destroyed (UN 2006). Death toll estimates range from 86,000-87,351, with approximately 138,000 seriously injured and 3.5 million people displaced. |
