Earthquakes in 2010 resulted in nearly 336,000 fatalities. Most of these were due to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, which caused an estimated 316,000 deaths, making it the 2nd deadliest earthquake in recorded history. The 2010 Chile earthquake registered 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale, ranking it as the 6th strongest earthquake since 1900. The tsunami associated with the Chile earthquake caused tsunami advisories and warning across the entire Ocean rim, also known as the Ring of Fire.

All earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above in 2010 are listed here; smaller earthquakes are included if they are notable for some other reason.
