The 1947 Aden Riots was a series of riots occuring between commited against the Jewish community in the Yemeni city of Aden by Arab Muslim mobs in reaction to the approval of the 1947 Partition of the Mandate of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly.  It was one of the most violent attacks on Mizrahi Jewish communities in the Middle East in modern times, resulting in 76–82 Jews and 38 Arabs killed and wide scale devastation of the local Jewish community of Aden.

Overall 82 Jews were killed (including 6 unidentified bodies, assumed to be Jews) and 76 wounded. In Crater, 106 Jewish-owned shops were completely looted and 8 more were partially looted (out of total 170), while the only 2 Jewish schools were burnt and some 30 houses, while almost all private Jewish-owned cars were burnt  in Shaykh Uthman, 61 houses were damaged and looted, 12 more houses were burnt; 5 shops, 1 school and 1 synagogue, as well as Jewish-owned distillery were burnt as well.

The riots also claimed the lives of 33 Arabs, 4 Muslim Indians and one Somali. The riots highlighted the destruction of Yemeni Jewry, which almost entirely emptied together with most of the Yemeni Jewish community. The Aden riots are symptomatic of the the overall exodus of Jews from Arab countries known as The Farhud.
