The Massacre of the Latins (Italian: Massacro dei Latini; Greek: Σφαγὴ τῶν Λατίνων) was a large-scale massacre of the Roman Catholic (called "Latin") inhabitants of Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, by the Eastern Orthodox population of the city in April 1182.^[1]^[2]

The Roman Catholics of Constantinople at that time dominated the city's maritime trade and financial sector.^[1] Although precise numbers are unavailable, the bulk of the Latin community, estimated at 60,000 at the time by Eustathius of Thessalonica,^[1] was wiped out or forced to flee. The Genoese and Pisan communities especially were devastated, and some 4,000 survivors were sold as slaves to the (Turkish) Sultanate of Rum.^[3]^[4]

The massacre further worsened relations and increased enmity between the Western and Eastern Christian churches,^[5] and a sequence of hostilities between the two followed.
