Głęboczyca massacre was a mass murder of ethnic Poles carried out on 29 August 1943 by the troops of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army aided by the Ukrainian peasants. It exclusively targeted Polish inhabitants of the Głęboczyca colony, located in the Włodzimierz County (powiat włodzimierski) of the Wołyń Voivodeship in the Second Polish Republic (now, part of Volodymyr-Volynskyi Raion, north of Volodymyr, Ukraine).{{cite web|url=http://wolyn.ovh.org/opisy/gleboczyca-10.html|title=Kolonia Głęboczyca, gmina Olesk, powiat Włodzimierz, woj. wołyńskie|date=October 2008|publisher=Wolyn.ovh.org|author=Strony o Wołyniu|access-date=2016-11-30|archive-date=2016-12-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201075743/http://wolyn.ovh.org/opisy/gleboczyca-10.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web |title=Map of Powiat włodzimierski showing hundreds of locations of massacres of Poles |url=http://nawolyniu.pl/zdjecia/wlodzimierski/62.htm |author=Wołyń naszych przodków |publisher=NaWolyniu.pl |year=2016}} About 250 Poles were killed, including 199 known by name including women and children.Władysław Siemaszko, Ewa Siemaszko, Ludobójstwo dokonane przez nacjonalistów ukraińskich na ludności polskiej Wołynia 1939-1945, Warszawa 2000, p. 873.
