List of people executed in Michigan

The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Michigan; which abolished the death penalty in 1847. No executions have been carried out under the authority of the state of Michigan. The one person executed after 1847 was executed by the United States strictly within federal jurisdiction. Thus, it was not performed within the legal boundaries of Michigan as a matter of law.

French and British colonial periods

Under U.S. jurisdiction (Michigan Territory)

Federal executions in Michigan

Only one person has been executed by the United States for a federal crime committed in Michigan. The execution was carried out at Federal Correctional Institution, Milan, in York Charter Township near the Village of Milan.

As a matter of jurisdictional law, this execution did not take place in Michigan per se because it was carried out by the United States government at a US government-owned facility, located in but not subject to the State of Michigan's jurisdiction.
