The Witches' Well) — памятник жертвам охоты на ведьм в Эдинбурге (Шотландия), созданный по проекту Джона Дункана в 1894 году. Бронзовый мемориал в виде питьевого фонтанчика, прикрепленного к стене, расположен на Замковой скале, в нижнем конце эспланады перед Эдинбургским замком, неподалёку от места, где в 1479—1722 годах сожгли на кострах более 300 женщин, обвинённых в колдовстве (по данным исследователей из Эдинбургского университета, около 32 % приговоров по такому обвинению, вынесенных в Шотландии, пришлось на Лотиан и, в том числе, на Эдинбург).
