The Ten Lies of Macedonism (Template:Lang-bg, or Desette lagi na makedonizma; Template:Lang-mk) is a book authored by Bulgarian historian and director of the Bulgarian National Historical Museum Dr. Bozhidar Dimitrov in 2003. The book was published in Bulgarian by "St. Clement of Ohrid", Sofia, Bulgaria and in Macedonian by the publishing house "Blaže Koneski", Strumica, Republic of Macedonia. The book describes ten major alleged lies of Macedonism from the perspective of Bulgarian historical science, as formulated by the author:

  1. Contemporary Macedonia and the Macedonian people — descendants of Ancient Macedonia and its people
  2. The "pure Macedonian Slavs" and the "Bulgarians — tatars"
  3. The Saints Cyril and Methodius, Saint Clement, Saint Naum, Saint Gorazd, Saint Sava and Saint Angelarii — "Macedonian educators" and "authors of the Macedonian alphabet"
  4. "Macedonian" tzar Samuil and his "Macedonian" kingdom
  5. "Archbishopric of Ohrid" (1019-1767) — "Macedonian church"
  6. The workers of "Macedonian" national revival and the Bulgarian Exarchate, which conquered the "Macedonian people"
  7. Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) — organization of "Macedonians" for the liberation of the "Macedonian people"
  8. Krste Misirkov — "Macedonian" of the 20th century
  9. Heroic struggle of the Macedonian people against "Bulgarian occupiers" (1941-1944).
  10. About the "rejoicing" of the Macedonian people for their second inclusion in Yugoslavia in 1944 and the 250,000 "Macedonians" in Bulgaria.

The book has attracted a significant amount of criticism from the government of the Republic of Macedonia. According to Dimitrov himself, it has sold approximately 18,000 copies in the Republic of Macedonia and about 10,000 copies in Bulgaria as of 2003. . The Macedonian language version is also freely available online.
