The Batih massacre (Polish: Rzeź polskich jeńców pod Batohem) also known as the Sarmatian Katyń was a mass execution of Polish capitives after the Battle of Batih on 3–4 June 1652 near Ladyzhyn (now in Ukraine). It was carried out by Cossacks aided by Tatars on the order of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, who paid Nuradyn Sultan 50,000 thalers for the right to do it.

Around 8,000 to 8,500 Polish elite soldiers and officers including 3,500 members of szlachta have been tied up and massacred in two days of methodical beheadings and disembowelments. The number of survivors of the pogrom is unknown.

Among the most notable victims were: Crown Great Quartermaster Samuel Kalinowski the son of Hetman Marcin Kalinowski, General of the Artillery Zygmunt Przyjemski, Castelan of Czernihów Jan Odrzywolski and magnate Marek Sobieski, brother of later King Jan III Sobieski.
