This is a list of people executed in Western Australia. It lists people who were executed by Dutch East India Company (VOC), British and, from 1901, Australian authorities within the modern-day boundaries of Western Australia. For people executed in other parts of Australia, see the sidebar.
Uniquely among Australian states, Western Australia is the site of several executions carried out by Europeans besides the British, namely the VOC. On 2 October 1629, seven crew members of the VOC ship Batavia were hanged on Long Island in the Houtman Abrolhos for mutiny and the subsequent massacre of 125 passengers and crew.[1]
