The Bosansko Grahovo massacre was a massacre committed by Chetniks on 27 July 1941. It was part of the massacres in the southwestern Bosnian Krajina and Eastern Lika aimed at the ethnic cleansing of ethnic Croats.

Incident

On the same day the Trubar massacre occurred (27 July 1941), Chetniks attacked Croat civilians in Bosansko Grahovo and surrounding villages, killing about 100, of whom 62 were identified. Numerous homes were burned, along with the Catholic church and rectory in Grahovo. A parish priest, Juraj Gospodnetić, was tortured and killed.
