Genosida Guatemala atau disebut juga Genosida Orang Maya[3] adalah peristiwa pembunuhan massal warga sipil Maya pada saat operasi Counter-insurgency dipimpin oleh militer dari Guatemala yang berlangsung pada tahun 1960–1998 dan mengakibatkan 200.000 orang meninggal atau menghilang.

While only limited violence has accompanied the on-going Zapatista movement in Chiapas, a holocaust occurred in Guatemala. Highland Maya civilians were the victims of a 36-year civil war in which 900,000 of them were displaced from their lands, many of them becoming refugees in Mexico, Belize, and the United States, and another 166,000 were killed or 'disappeared'. By the time a cease-fire was declared in 1996, the Maya constituted 83 percent of the war dead. A United Nations study stated that Guatemala's war policies had been tantamount to Maya genocide.[pranala nonaktif permanen]
