Pacification of the village of Szarajówka – mass murder of civilians, combined with plunder and destruction of property, carried out by German occupiers on May 18, 1943 in the village of Szarajówka in the Zamość region.

Szarajówka was pacified in retaliation for the collaboration of its inhabitants with the resistance movement. At least 58 people, including many women and children, were killed by the Germans and their Ukrainian collaborators. Most of the victims were burned alive. The village was completely robbed and its buildings were set on fire. It was one of the bloodiest pacifications carried out during the displacement and pacification operation in the Zamość region.
