Slavery in Belize includes practices of enslavement by British colonists during the period of European colonization. Products for which slavery was used include logwood, mahogany and sugar.[1]

British settlers, called Baymen, began importing African slaves in the early 18th century.[1]

There were at least four slave revolts in Belize.[1]
