This is a list of people executed in New Jersey.
 No one has been executed by the state of New Jersey since 1963, although a statute reinstating capital punishment for murder had been in force from 1982 until 2007.
 New Jersey executed a total of 361 people from its inception to the abolition of the death penalty on December 17, 2007.
 The first person executed was a slave known to history only as Tom for a rape in 1690.
 The last execution was of Ralph Hudson for murder on January 22, 1963.
 Of those executions, 187 occurred in the 20th century.
 The last execution for a crime other than murder (or conspiracy to murder) was of Andrew Clark in 1872 for rape.
 The last woman executed was Margaret Meierhoffer in 1881.
 Except for a dozen slaves executed by burning in the early 18th century, executions in New Jersey were by hanging until 1906 and electrocution since then, with the exception of an execution by hanging in 1909.
The Cannock Chase murders (also known as the A34 murders) were the murders of three young school girls that occurred in Staffordshire, England, during the late 1960s.
 In a trial reported to have received "unprecedented public interest", Raymond Leslie Morris of Walsall was convicted at Staffordshire Assizes of the murder of Christine Ann Darby after one of the largest manhunts in British history.
 Morris is also considered the chief suspect in the deaths of Margaret Reynolds and Diana Joy Tift.
 In November 2010, he was granted a judicial review of his case in a bid to overturn his conviction, which failed.
Marlin A. Gray (September 29, 1967 – October 26, 2005) was convicted of aiding and abetting and executed by the U.S. state of Missouri by lethal injection.
 His conviction was for being part of a group of four men who, on April 5, 1991, sexually assaulted and then murdered two sisters, and attempted to murder the sisters' cousin on the Chain of Rocks Bridge over the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri.
 Gray continued to protest his innocence saying that although he was at the bridge at the time, he was smoking cannabis in a nearby car.
 On December 9, 1992, Gray was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and was executed on October 26, 2005.
 He maintained his innocence to the end.
Troy Anthony Davis (October 9, 1968 – September 21, 2011) was an American man convicted of and executed for the August 19, 1989, murder of police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia.
 MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Burger King restaurant when he intervened to defend a man being assaulted in a nearby parking lot.
 During Davis's 1991 trial, seven witnesses testified they had seen Davis shoot MacPhail, and two others testified Davis had confessed the murder to them.
 There were 34 witnesses who testified for the prosecution, and six others for the defense, including Davis.
 Although the murder weapon was not recovered, ballistic evidence presented at trial linked bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged.
 He was convicted of murder and various lesser charges, including the earlier shooting, and was sentenced to death in August 1991.
Incendiary: The Willingham Case is a 2011 documentary film by Steve Mims and Joe Bailey, Jr. that explores the conviction and execution of Cameron Todd Willingham for arson murder.
 Equal parts murder mystery, forensic investigation and political drama, the film meticulously reviews the arson evidence used to convict Willingham, and immerses audiences in contemporary struggles over the case.
Cameron Todd Willingham (January 9, 1968 – February 17, 2004) was an American man who was convicted and executed for the murder of his three young children by arson at the family home in Corsicana, Texas, on December 23, 1991.
 Since Willingham's 2004 execution, significant controversy has arisen over the interpretation of the evidence that was used to convict him of arson and murder.
Juan A. Rivera, Jr. (born October 31, 1972) is an American man who was wrongfully convicted three times for the 1992 rape and murder of 11-year-old Holly Staker in Waukegan, Illinois.
 He was convicted twice on the basis of a confession that he claims was coerced.
 No physical evidence linked him to the crime scene.
 DNA testing done in 2004 on semen taken from the crime scene ruled out Rivera as the source; however, the prosecution argued that the semen sample came from previous consensual sex with another man, and Rivera was convicted a third time.
 His conviction was overturned by the appellate court, which took the unusual step of barring prosecutors from retrying Rivera, and he was released.
Carlos DeLuna (March 15, 1962 – December 7, 1989) was an American man who was convicted of murder and executed by the State of Texas for killing a 24-year-old gas station attendant in Corpus Christi, on the evening of February 4, 1983.
 Since DeLuna's execution by lethal injection in 1989, doubts have been raised about the conviction and the question of his guilt.
 An investigation published by the "Columbia Human Rights Law Review" in May 2012 has strengthened these claims of innocence by detailing a large amount of evidence suggesting the actual murderer was Carlos Hernandez, a similar-looking man who lived in a nearby neighborhood.
Ernest Ray Willis is an American man who was on death row for 17 years before he was exonerated.
 Willis was convicted of murder after a 1986 fire in his West Texas home killed two women.
 He was sentenced to the death penalty.
 In 2004, Willis was released from prison after new fire investigators examining the case could not reach a determination as to the fire's cause, and they said that there was no evidence that the fire had been an arson case.
Making a Murderer is an American documentary television series that premiered on Netflix on December 18, 2015.
 The ten-episode first season, written and directed by Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, explores the story of Steven Avery, a man from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, who served 18 years in prison for the wrongful conviction of sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beerntsen, before being fully exonerated in 2003 by DNA evidence.
 He filed a suit against the county on this case.
 In 2005, Avery was arrested on charges of murdering Teresa Halbach, a local photographer, and was convicted in 2007.
 The series also covers the arrest, prosecution, and conviction of Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, who was also charged in the murder, largely based on his confession under interrogation.
