This article lists the mass executions in Islamic State-occupied Mosul. Mosul, which is located in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq, was occupied by the Islamic State (IS) from the Fall of Mosul on June 10, 2014, until the liberation of Mosul on July 10, 2017. Mosul is the second largest city in Iraq, and because of this, it was one of the Islamic State's largest bases, and their capture of the city was used in propaganda to demonstrate their military strength. Sunni Islam is the majority religion in the area. Mass executions of civilians, enemy soldiers, and members of IS who were accused of offenses were a regular occurrence, and executions peaked during the Mosul offensive. Mosul was the site of many of IS's war crimes. This article is a timeline of recorded mass executions carried out by IS in and around Mosul.
