The 1944 Bombay Explosion, also known as the Bombay Docks Explosion or the Victoria Dock Explosion, occurred on April 14, 1944, in the city of Bombay (now known as Mumbai), India. The explosion was one of the largest explosions ever recorded, and it caused extensive damage to the city.

The explosion occurred in the Victoria Dock of Bombay, which was being used by the British military to store explosives and ammunition during World War II. The dock area was surrounded by densely populated residential areas, which made the impact of the explosion even more severe.
