June deportation (Estonian: Juuniküüditamine, Latvian: Jūnija deportācijas, Lithuanian: Birželio trėmimai) was the first in the series of mass Soviet deportations of tens of thousands of people from the Baltic states, occupied Poland, Byelorussia, Ukraine and Moldova starting June 14, 1941 that followed the occupation and annexation of the Baltic states. The procedure for deporting the "anti-Soviet elements" was approved by Ivan Serov in the so-called Serov Instructions. Men were generally imprisoned and most of them died in Siberian prison camps (see Gulag); women and children were resettled in Kirov, Tomsk, Omsk and Novosibirsk Oblasts as well as Krasnoyarsk and Altai Krais. About a half of them eventually survived.

After the war the deportation has its subsequent stage in a much larger scale, known as Operation Priboi.
