Panzós is a municipality in the Guatemalan department of Alta Verapaz. On 29 May 1978 the village of Panzós was the site of a massacre in which between 30 and 60 (figures vary) local inhabitants were killed by the army in a dispute over land rights with Canadian nickel mining company Vale Inco.

The name Panzós means "place of the green waters", in reference to the nearby Polochic River and swamps full of alligators and birds. [cite book | title=The Rough Guide to Guatemala | author=Iain Stewart, Mark Whatmore, Peter Eltringham | publisher=Rough Guides | pages=315 | isbn=9781858288482]
