The Second Magdalena massacre was an attack by Apaches against the Spanish mission village of Magdalena de Kino, in northern Mexico. The attack occurred in mid-November 1776. Most or all of Magdalena de Kino's inhabitants were killed.

It was the second massacre in the town. In November 1757, Seri natives attacked and killed thirty-one civilians. Captain Francisco Ignacio de Trespalacios discovered the massacred colonists during a campaign from Presidio Santa Cruz de Terrenate with eighty-three cavalry men. Ignacoi replaced the fallen commander, Francisco Tovar, after the First Battle of Terrenate.
