Konjević Polje is a village in the municipality of Bratunac, in the Drina Valley of north - eastern Republic of Srpska , Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the Bosnian Serb campaign of ethnic cleansing in 1992 Konjević Polje became cut off from the main area of Bosnian territory, forming part of the enclave of Srebrenica. 

During the Serb offensive of early 1993 the villages of Konjević Polje and Cerska were captured. Their Bosniak residents fled to Srebrenica, adding to the town's already swollen refugee population.

After the fall of Srebrebnica the road between Bratunac and Konjević Polje was a key point at which the Bosnian Serb Army forces attacked and broke the column of refugees fleeing towards government territory.

Many of the refugees were killed and captured in localities in the vicinity. The school at Konjević Polje was used to hold detainees before execution.
