This is a list of people executed in Minnesota as both a territory and a state.

All executions in Minnesota were carried out by hanging.
William Williams (c. 1877 – 13 February 1906) was a Cornish miner and the last person executed by the state of Minnesota in the United States. Williams was convicted for the 1905 murders of 16-year old John Keller and his mother, Mary Keller in Saint Paul, and his subsequent botched execution led to increased support for the abolition of capital punishment in Minnesota in 1911.
Between 1854 and Minnesota's final execution in 1906, at least 70 people were executed in the Minnesota Territory and the State of Minnesota, all by hanging. [1] [2] The first execution in Minnesota's history was the 1854 hanging of a Native American man, known in Anglicanized spelling as Uhazy or Yuhagu, for murder.
