Nathan Bedford Forrest (13 Juli 1821 – 29 Oktober 1877) adalah seorang jenderal Tentara Konfederasi pada Perang Saudara Amerika dan pemimpin Ku Klux Klan berpengaruh pasca-perang. Meskipun para cendekiawan umumnya mengakui kemampuan Forrest dan keterampilannya sebagai pemimpin kavaleri dan pakar strategi militer, ia masih menjadi figur kontroversial dalam sejarah rasial, khususnya karena peran utamanya dalam pembantaian lebih dari 300 prajurit kulit hitam di Benteng Pillow dan karena memimpin Ku Klux Klan pada 1867–1869 sebagai Grand Wizard pertamanya.
