The Shedden massacre involved the gang-related killing of eight men, whose bodies were found in a field five kilometres north of Shedden, a small village in the Canadian province of Ontario, on April 8, 2006. Four vehicles, with the bodies inside, were first discovered by a farmer. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said the killings were an isolated event and there were no fears for the safety of local residents. The name Shedden massacre is a misnomer, as the killings took place at a farm outside of Iona Station and Shedden was the hamlet closest to where the bodies were discovered in a farmer's field.

The killings were linked to a dispute within the Bandidos motorcycle gang, specifically between the "no surrender crew" led by Giovanni Muscedere and the Bandidos' 'Mother chapter' in Houston, Texas. The "no surrender crew" had been expelled by the Bandidos in December 2005, but refused to return their patches, leading to a violent confrontation.

Six people were convicted of first-degree murder in connection with the Shedden massacre, including Michael "Taz" Sandham, who was the leader of the Winnipeg chapter of the Bandidos.
