The W?sosz pogrom was the World War II mass murder of Jewish residents of W?sosz in German-occupied Poland, on 5 July 1941.

On the night of 4 and 5 July 1941, a small group of men armed with axes and iron clubs murdered several dozens of the Jewish inhabitants of W?sosz. The killings were performed in a brutal manner, regardless of the victims' age. The Institute of National Remembrance investigation established the number of victims at at least 70.

Menachem Finkielsztejn, a resident of Radzi?ów, described in a post-war testimony how Poles from W?sosz arrived in Radzi?ów on the 6th of July saying that "It was immediately known that those who came had previously killed in a horrible manner, using pipes and knives, all the Jews in their own town, not sparing even women or little children". However, they were chased away by the local townfolk of Radzi?ów, who then massacred the Jews of Radzi?ów on the 7th of June, killing the entire community except for 18 survivors. According to Andrzej ?bikowski the townfolk of Radzi?ów drove away the W?sosz killers so that they could kill and steal the property of the Jews for themselves.
