== List of events named pogroms == {{verify sources|date=June 2024}} {{incomplete table|date=July 2024}} <small>'''Scope:''' This is a partial list of events for which one of the commonly accepted names includes the word ''pogrom''. Inclusion in this list is based solely on evidence in multiple reliable sources that a name including the word ''pogrom'' is one of the accepted names for that event. A reliable source that merely describes the event as being a pogrom does not qualify the event for inclusion in this list. The word ''pogrom'' must appear in the source as part of a name for the event.</small> <!------------------------- INCLUSION CRITERIA : [[Talk:Pogrom/Archive 5#RfC: Pogrom list inclusion criteria]] --------------------------> {{clear}} {| class="sortable wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" !
