Victor Licata (c. 1912 – December 4, 1950) was an American mass murderer who used an axe to kill his family in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, on October 16, 1933. The killings, which were reported by the media as the work of an "axe-murdering marijuana addict", were abused as prima facie evidence that there was a link between recreational drugs, such as cannabis, and crime. This led to the killings being abused in 1930s anti-drug campaigns against marijuana.
