The following is a list of people executed in New Hampshire. Between 1739 and 1939, during which New Hampshire was first the Province of New Hampshire and then became a U.S. state, 24 people were so punished. The method used was hanging.
Capital punishment in New Hampshire was abolished on May 30, 2019; however, the abolition was not retroactive and one inmate, Michael K. Addison, remains on the state's death row. Should the state carry out his execution, it would be by lethal injection, with hanging as an alternative should lethal injection be ruled unconstitutional or found inefficient, or if the inmate so requested.
List
New Hampshire had public executions through 1868, which were held (after becoming a U.S. state) at county seats. Executions then moved to the state capital, Concord, held at the state prison.
