Fawziyah Javed (4 September 1989 – 2 September 2021) was a British-Pakistani lawyer who was murdered by her husband Kashif Anwar after he pushed her off Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, Scotland. At the time of her death, Fawziyah was pregnant; she had planned to divorce Anwar and raise her first child as a single parent.
On 23 April 2023, Anwar was found guilty of the murder of his wife, and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of twenty years. Her family launched the Fawziyah Javed Foundation.
In 2024, Channel 4 released the documentary The Push: Murder on the Cliff about the murder and trial.
