Ane Cathrine Andersdatter (20 October 1829 – 21 December 1861) was a Danish serial killer who murdered three of her children between 1853 and 1861, shortly after their births. For her crimes, she was beheaded on Rødovre Mark north of Damhuskroen by Annexgårdsvej, in the current residential area of Søtorp. She was the last woman executed in the country, and the only to be executed since the abolition of the absolute monarchy.
