The pogroms of Oujda and Jerada of 1948 were antisemitic pogroms of essential parts of the Muslim majority population in French Morocco, which took place on 7 June 1948 to 8 June of that year.

They were directed against the Jewish communities in the cities of Oujda and Jerada in Northeast Morocco.
