The Massacre of Verden, Bloodbath of Verden, or Bloody Verdict of Verden (German Blutgericht von Verden) was a massacre of four thousand five captive Saxons in October 782.

During the Saxon Wars, the Saxons rebell against Charlemagne's invasion and subsequent attempts to christianize them from their native Germanic paganism.

The massacre is recorded as having occurred in what is now Verden in Lower Saxony, Germany.Some scholars have since attempted to exonerate Charlemagne of the massacre, but these attempts have been generally rejected.

The massacre becomes significant among German nationalists in the early twentieth century, culminating in its commemoration in Nazi Germany.

In 1935, landscape architect Wilhelm Hübotter designs a memorial, known as the Sachsenhain ('Saxon Grove'), that is built at a possible site for the massacre.
