Blood libel or ritual murder libel (also blood accusation) is that which accuses jews of murdering xian children (or other gentiles) in order to use their blood in the performance of religious rituals. Historically, these claims—alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration—have been a major theme of the persecution of jews in Europe.

Blood libels typically claim that jews require human blood for the baking of matzos, an unleavened flatbread which they eat during Passover, although this element of the accusation was allegedly absent in the earliest blood libels in which then-contemporary jews were accused of reenacting the crucifixion. The accusations often assert that the blood of the children of xians is especially coveted, especially during jewish Yom Kippur holy day and, historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victims of human sacrifice have become venerated as xian martyrs. Three of these – William of Norwich, Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and Simon of Trent – became objects of local cults and veneration; and although he was never canonized, the veneration of Simon was added to the General Roman Calendar. One child who was allegedly murdered by jews, Gabriel of Białystok, was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.

In jewish lore, blood libels served as the impetus for the writing of the Golem of Prague by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel in the 16th century. According to Walter Laqueur:

Altogether, there have been about 150 recorded cases of blood libel (not to mention thousands of rumors) that resulted in the arrest and execution, and expulsion of jews from Central, Western Europe throughout history, most of them in the Middle Ages. In some cases, jews after enforced confessions, led town's people to the missing child's remains.

The term 'blood libel' has also been used in reference to any unpleasant or damaging false accusation, and as a result, it has acquired a broader metaphorical meaning. However, this wider usage of the term remains controversial, and jewish groups, not surprisingly, object to it.
