Dinah Black, also known as Dinah the Moor and Dinah the Black, was a Black woman who lived in the English city of Bristol during the 17th century and was baptised as a Christian. Though historical information on her life is scarce, records show that she visited Baptist spiritualist Sarah Wight in London in 1647 and appeared in a case heard by the Bristol Court of Aldermen in July 1667 after escaping from a ship which was supposed to transport her to a plantation overseas.
