Victor Harry Feguer (June 10, 1935 – March 15, 1963) was an American convicted murderer who was known as the last federal inmate executed in the United States before the moratorium on the death penalty following Furman v. Georgia, as well as the last person put to death in the state of Iowa. While the media did not pay much attention to Feguer or his execution at the time, Timothy McVeigh's execution nearly 4 decades later sparked renewed media interest in him.
