Matthew Hopkins, d. 1647, was an English witchhunter whose career flourished in the time of the English Civil War. He held, or claimed to hold, the office of "Witch-finder General", though this was not a title ever bestowed by Parliament (despite him having to have some form of official jurisdiction), conducting witch-hunts in the counties of Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk and other eastern counties of England.
