Abigail Becker (née Jackson; March 14, 1830, or 1831 – March 21, 1905), known as the Angel of Long Point, was a Canadian farmer and trapper who saved the lives of seventeen people across five unique incidents. These included rescuing two individuals who had fallen down separate wells when Becker was a child, and later as an adult, sailors caught in storms along the shores of Long Point on Lake Erie during three different shipwrecks.
