William Calcraft (1800 – 13 December 1879) was a 19th-century English hangman, one of the most active of British executioners. It is estimated in his 45-year career he carried out 450 executions. A cobbler by trade, Calcraft was initially recruited to flog juvenile offenders held in Newgate Prison.
