Pembantaian Ningpo adalah istilah dari seorang koresponden Britania Raya yang juga menulis bahwa pemerintah Portugis yang ada di Makau saat itu seharusnya memberantas para perompak Portugis yang marak beroperasi di sana dan sering bertindak kejam terhadap orang-orang Tiongkok.

Pada tahun 1800-an, otoritas Ningbo telah membuat perjanjian dengan perompak Kanton yang dipimpin oleh Ah Pak untuk membasmi dan menghabisi para perompak Portugis yang telah merompak kapal barang Kanton di sekitar Ningbo. Pada 26 Juni 1857, pembantaian itu "berhasil", 40 orang Portugis tewas dan hanya dua orang Tiongkok yang tewas serta satu orang Britania Raya juga tewas karena telah berpihak kepada orang Kanton.

Orang-orang dari Ningbo sangat mendukung pembantaian terhadap perompak Portugis dan serangan terhadap konsul Portugis. Orang-orang Portugis bahkan tidak berusaha untuk melawan apalagi bertempur ketika para perompak Kanton menyerbu kantor konsulat mereka. Mereka bahkan memilih untuk melarikan diri dan bersembunyi di kuburan.^[2]
