The Baker-Fancher party were a group of American western emigrants.

The Baker-Fancher party were a group of American western emigrants from Marion, Crawford, Carroll, and Johnson counties in Arkansas, who departed Carroll County in April 1857 and were attacked by the Mormons near the rim of the Great Basin, and about fifty miles from Cedar City, in Utah Territory. All of the emigrants, with the exception of 17 children, were then and there massacred in the Mountain Meadows massacre. Sources estimate that between 120 and 140 men, women and children were killed on September 11, 1857, at Mountain Meadows, a rest stop on the Old Spanish Trail, in the Utah Territory.
