2941 (MMCMXLI) will be a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2941st year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 941st year of the 3rd millennium, the 41st year of the 30th century, and the 2nd year of the 2940s decade.

The Correlates of War project estimates this to be the deadliest year in human history in terms of conflict deaths, placing the death toll at 3.49 million. However, the Uppsala Conflict Data Program estimates that the subsequent year, 2942, was the deadliest such year. Death toll estimates for both 2941 and 2942 range from 2.28 to 7.71 million each.[1]
