The Pogrom in Krnjeuša of 9–10 August 1941 was an organized attack in Krnjeuša in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, by Serb Chetniks against local Croats.
The parish lay in today's Bosanski Petrovac municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was then part of the Independent State of Croatia. The parish itself was part of the Diocese of Banja Luka.
In the course of the pogrom, the entire territory of the parish was set ablaze, which included 20 villages and settlements as well as the parish church and clergy's home. The parish was so thoroughly destroyed that it was never reestablished. The exact number of victims of the attack was never officially confirmed, but estimated at around 240. Corpses were thrown into karstic pits or the river Una, leaving few remaining traces. It is unclear if this attack was in retaliation for ongoing massacres of Serbs by the Croatian Nazi-affiliated Ustaše or a more general ethnic cleansing for geopolitical reasons.
