Lynda Cheryle Lyon Block (February 8, 1948 – May 10, 2002) was an American convicted murderer.
She was the first woman executed in the state of Alabama since 1957, and 9th woman executed in the U.S.
since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976.
Block was the last individual executed by electrocution who was not given a choice of lethal injection, which is (as of 2018) the primary protocol in all the states that also maintain execution by electrocution.
