1989年天安门广场抗议事件（六四事件），是中国现代历史上极具争议的一场政治运动。

1989年4月，前中共领导人胡耀邦逝世，引发大批学生在北京天安门广场悼念，并进一步提出反贪腐、新闻自由、民主改革等诉求。随着时间推移，示威人数不断扩大，并蔓延至全国多个城市，形成声势浩大的民主运动。

中共政府最初曾表示对话，但最终决定以武力清场。1989年6月3日至4日间，解放军进驻天安门广场，动用坦克和实弹镇压，造成大量民众死伤。具体死亡人数至今不明，估计从数百到数千不等。

六四事件之后，中国政府加强言论管控，严禁媒体和公众讨论该事件，并封锁相关资讯。许多流亡人士仍在海外持续呼吁平反六四，维权人士亦以此作为追求民主的象征。
