The Wicked Witch of the West is a character in the fictional land Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum in his children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the book The Wicked Witch poses the biggest threat to Dorothy Gale, because she covets the magical silver shoes which previously belonged to the Wicked Witch of the East and are now worn by Dorothy.

In the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch, played by actress Margaret Hamilton, was stooped, green-skinned, and dressed entirely in black with a black pointed hat upon her head. This representation of the Wicked Witch has become an archetype for human wickedness.

The Witch is the sister of the Wicked Witch of the East, who is killed when Dorothy Gale arrives in Oz. The Witch asks aloud, "Who killed my sister?" As a result, the Wicked Witch of the West's role is made more prominent as she seeks revenge against Dorothy for killing her sister. When Dorothy claims the death was an accident, the Witch of the West replies, "Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents too." It is from this movie that popular culture gets the oft-quoted phrase, "I'll get you, my pretty ... and your little dog too!"

The Witch ranks No. 4 in the American Film Institute's list of the 50 Best Movie Villains of All Time.
