Edward Theodore Gein (Condado de La Crosse, Wisconsin, 27 de agosto de 1906 - Madison, Wisconsin, 26 de julio de 1984), también conocido como el Carnicero de Plainfield y el Necrófago de Plainfield, fue un asesino y profanador de tumbas estadounidense.​ Sus crímenes, cometidos en los alrededores de su ciudad natal, Plainfield, Wisconsin, adquirieron gran notoriedad en 1957 después de que las autoridades descubrieran que había exhumado cadáveres de cementerios locales y creado recuerdos con sus huesos y piel. También confesó haber asesinado a dos mujeres, la tabernera Mary Hogan en 1954 y la ferretera Bernice Worden en 1957. Inicialmente, Gein fue declarado no apto para ser juzgado y recluido en un centro de salud mental. En 1968, se le declaró apto para ser juzgado; fue declarado culpable del asesinato de Worden, pero se le declaró legalmente demente y, por lo tanto, fue recluido en una institución psiquiátrica.
