Enriqueta Martí (1868 – 1912) was a Spanish child murderer and cannibal.

A self-styled witch who made her living through the sale of charms and potions, Enriqueta was arrested by police in Barcelona in March 1912 on charges of abducting several local children. Her most recent victim, a young girl named Angelita, was rescued alive from the witch's lair, horrifying police with a tale of murder and cannibalism. According to the girl, Enriqueta had forced her to partake of human flesh. Her "meal" had been the remains of yet another child, who had been kidnapped a short time earlier.

As ultimately pieced together by authorities, Enriqueta's local crimes had already claimed at least six victims. After murdering the children, she would boil their bodies down for use as prime ingredients in her expensive "love potions". Convicted on the basis of her own confession, coupled with the testimony of her sole surviving victim, Enriqueta was found guilty of her crimes, and executed.
