De protesten in Bahrein waren een serie demonstraties op de eilandstaat Bahrein in de Perzische Golf. De demonstraties begonnen op 14 februari 2011, in navolging van protesten in andere delen van de Arabische wereld. De demonstranten eisen grotere politieke vrijheid en respect voor de mensenrechten; ook willen demonstranten een einde maken aan de monarchie. Centrum van de protesten is het Parelplein in Manamah.
