October in Kragujevac Memorial Park (Serbian: Spomen-park „Kragujevački oktobar", Спомен-парк „Крагујевачки октобар"), also known as Šumarice Memorial Park (Memorijalni park Šumarice, Меморијални парк Шумарице), is the site near Kragujevac, Serbia of the execution of an estimated 3,000 men and boys of the town by the German occupation forces on October 21, 1941, during World War II.

According to noted historian Philip J. Cohen, "All males from the town between the ages of sixteen and sixty were assembled and the victims -- including high school students -- were selected from among them."

Monuments within the park include the monument to the murdered schoolchildren and their teachers (the "Interrupted Flight" monument); the "Monument of pain and defiance"; the "One hundred for one" monument; the "Resistance and Freedom" monument, and the monument to shoe cleaners.

The 21 October Museum is located at the site of the massacre.
