En del af Guy Fawkes skriftlige tilståelse
Guido Fawkes (født 13. april 1570, død 31. januar 1606), almindeligvis kaldet Guy Fawkes, var en af hovedmændene i den katolske sammensværgelse, Krudtsammensværgelsen, the Gunpowder Plot. Planen var at knuse den engelske protestantiske elite ved at sprænge kong Jakob 1. og begge parlamentets kamre i London i luften under parlamentets åbning den femte november 1605.
Til erindring herom kaldes 5. november for Guy Fawkes' Day.
