The murder of Carol Anne Wilkinson (b. 18 December 1956), a 20-year-old woman from Bradford, West Yorkshire, occurred on 10 October 1977. Anthony Steel spent 19 years in prison for the crime before his conviction was quashed in 2003. Steel died in 2007 at the age of 51.

Over the years, some writers and investigators have suggested that Peter Sutcliffe, the "Yorkshire Ripper", may have been Wilkinson's real murderer. Despite this, her case remains officially unsolved.
