This is a list of earthquakes in 1957. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes appear on the list. Lower magnitude events are included if they have caused death, injury or damage. Events which occurred in remote areas will be excluded from the list as they wouldn't have generated significant media interest. All dates are listed according to ...

The original hypothesis was that the earthquake occurred along the strike-slip Bogd fault and ruptured for 560 km (350 mi), [1] however, the more recently adopted conclusion is that there was a 250–300 km (160–190 mi) [15] long strike-slip rupture at a ...
