"The Massacre of the Innocents" is a notable engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, based on a design by the eminent High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino). This work of art captures the biblical narrative of the slaughter of male infants in Bethlehem, as ordered by King Herod in an attempt to kill the infant Jesus, an event described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:16–18). Raphael's original design, which has been lost to history, was translated into a complex and detailed engraving by Raimondi, one of the most skilled engravers of the Renaissance period.

Raimondi's engraving is renowned for its technical proficiency and the emotional intensity it conveys. The composition is dynamic and filled with a sense of movement and drama, effectively portraying the horror and chaos of the scene. The work is also significant for its role in the dissemination of Raphael's designs, allowing a wider audience to engage with the master's art during the 16th century and beyond. Raphael's influence on Raimondi's work was profound, and their collaboration resulted in engravings that were highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of the time.

The engraving is an exemplar of the synergy between artist and engraver during the Renaissance, showcasing how printmaking could extend the reach of an artist's vision. "The Massacre of the Innocents" by Raimondi, after Raphael, remains an important work in the study of Renaissance art and printmaking, reflecting the era's artistic achievements and the collaborative nature of artistic production. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit, historical significance, and its impact on the dissemination of Renaissance art styles across Europe.
