Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi (died June 13, 1906) was a Moroccan serial killer who was found to have killed at least 36 women. He was a cobbler and public letter writer.

The bodies of 26 women were found under his shop and an additional ten were found buried on property owned by Mesfewi. He was aided by a 70-year-old female accomplice named Rahali, also reported as Annah, during the course of the murders.

They would lure young women to dinner, administer a narcotic, and then murder them in their sleep. The victims were then robbed of any valuables they possessed and subsequently buried. They were also mutilated with a dagger.

He was originally sentenced to be crucified on May 2, 1906 but resident foreign officials opposed the crucifixion. He instead suffered daily whippings and was publicly immured on June 11, 1906. Mesfewi died on June 13, 1906.
