The Armenian-Tatar massacres (also known as the Armenian-Tartar War and the Armeno-Tartar War) refers to the bloody inter-ethnic confrontation between the Armenians and the Azerbaijanis (referred to as "Azerbaijani Tartars" by the Russians at that time) throughout the Caucasus in 1905—1907.

The massacres started during the Russian Revolution of 1905, and claimed hundreds of lives. The most violent clashes occurred in 1905 in February in Baku, in May in Nakhchivan, in August in Shusha and in November in Ganja, heavily damaging the cities and the Baku oilfields. Some violence, although of lesser scale, broke out also in Tbilisi.
