Krushë e Madhe (Serbian: Велика Круша, romanized: Velika Kruša) is a village in the municipality of Rahovec of western Kosovo. It was a stronghold of the Kosovo Liberation Army during the Kosovo War. On 26 March 1999, the Yugoslav Army massacred over a hundred unarmed Kosovo Albanian civilians in the village in retaliation for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
