List of historical earthquakes

This article is about historical earthquakes (before 1901). For earthquakes in the twentieth century, see List of 20th-century earthquakes. For earthquakes after 2000, see List of 21st-century earthquakes.

Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes from before the 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings, they rely mainly on the analysis of written sources. There is often significant uncertainty in location and magnitude and sometimes date for each earthquake. The number of fatalities is also often highly uncertain, particularly for the older events.
