The Ba Chúc massacre was carried out by the Kampuchean Revolutionary Army (Khmer Rouge) from April 18 to April 30, 1978 in Ba Chúc, Tri Tôn, An Giang Province, Vietnam. Of those who had lived in Ba Chúc, 3,157 civilians were killed.[1] Only two survived the massacre. An addition of more than 200 people were killed or injured by land mines deployed by the Khmer Rouge upon retreat.

The attack was one of the events that prompted the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea.
