The Dupont Plaza Hotel arson was a fire that occurred on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1986, at the Hotel Dupont Plaza (now San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino) in San Juan, the capital of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

The fire was set by three disgruntled employees of the hotel who were involved in a labor dispute with the owners. It claimed between 96 and 98 lives and caused 140 injuries. It is the most catastrophic hotel fire in Puerto Rican history and the second deadliest hotel fire in the history of the United States.[2]
