  • ピロー砦の戦い(ピローとりでのたたかい、英: Battle of Fort Pillow)また特に北部ではピロー砦虐殺(ビローとりでぎゃくさつ、英: Fort Pillow Massacre)は、南北戦争中の1864年4月12日に、テネシー州ヘニングのミシシッピ川沿いピロー砦で行われた戦闘である。この戦闘では、降伏したアフリカ系アメリカ人の部隊に対する虐殺が、南軍ネイサン・ベッドフォード・フォレスト少将によって遂行されたのか、あるいは見過ごされたのかについて大きな議論を呼んだ。軍事歴史家のデイビッド・J・アイヒャーは「ピロー砦はアメリカの軍事史の中で最も暗く悲しい出来事の一つとなった」と結論付けた。
