The Minnamurra River massacre is an attack that occurred in 1818 along the Minnamurra River on an unknown number of Wodiwodi people by nine European settlers. On 1 October 1818, a number of indigenous Australians of the Wodiwodi people were attacked and killed along the banks of the Minnamurra River. The attack was led by local Dapto property owner, Lt. William Frederick Weston, his site overseer, Cornelius O'Brien, along with seven undisclosed convicts and labourers. The group attacked an Aboriginal campsite in the early hours of the morning, armed with muskets, swords and knives attached to long sticks. The settlers were alleged to have been attempting to recover two muskets which had been lent to the Aboriginal people of the area.
