The Cleveland Torso Murderer was an unidentified serial killer active in the Cleveland, Ohio, area in the early 20th century. The official toll of the murderer was 12, killed between 1935 to 1938, but some believe that there may have been as many as 40+ victims in the Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Youngstown, Ohio, area between the 1920s and the 1950s.

Cleveland investigators included 12 murders officially in this early serial killer case. Of those, only three victims were identified. The string of killings were linked by many similarities and ran from 1934 to 1938. Victims were both male and female and all involved corpse mutilation or dismemberment.

Although a number of persons were arrested and questioned, no one was ever convicted of the murders.

The unknown woman known as "The Lady of the Lake" was thought by many to be the first victim of this serial killer, but strangely she was not officially included in the 12 murder cases of the investigation(s).
