Rebecca Fowler (killed October 9, 1685) was a woman convicted and executed for witchcraft in 17th-century Maryland.
Fowler is the only documented legal execution of an alleged witch in Maryland history.
Once freed from her servitude, she married John Fowler, a fellow former indentured servant who had worked on the Collins slave plantation.
The jury stated its view that Fowler was guilty, but left the final determination of guilt to the judge.
