Kerusuhan Los Angeles 1992, juga dikenal sebagai Kerusuhan Rodney King, Kerusuhan South Central, Kekacauan sipil Los Angeles 1992, Kerusuhan sipil Los Angeles 1992, dan Pemberontakan Los Angeles,[1] adalah serangkaian kerusuhan, penjarahan, pembakaran, dan kekacauan sipil yang terjadi di County Los Angeles, California, pada April dan Mei 1992. Kerusuhan berawal di Los Angeles Pusat Selatan pada 29 April setelah dewan juri pengadilan membebaskan empat petugas Departemen Kepolisian Los Angeles dari penggunaan kekerasan yang berlebihan dalam penangkapan yang terekam video dan pemukulan terhadap Rodney King. Ini kemudian menyebar ke seluruh wilayah metropolitan Los Angeles ketika ribuan orang melakukan kerusuhan selama periode enam hari setelah pengumuman putusan tersebut.
