Varivode () is a village in the municipality of Kistanje, Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia. In the aftermath of Operation Storm in 1995 the village was the site of the Varivode massacre.
==History== Prior to the Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995), Varivode was part of the municipality of Knin, and according to the census of 1991, it had a population of 477. During the war, Varivode and its surroundings were occupied by the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina. On 28 September 1995, almost two months after Operation Storm, men in Croatian military uniforms and armed civilians killed between 9 and 12 elderly Serb civilians, some of whom were disabled.
