Mira Fuchrer (born 1920 in Warsaw – May 8, 1943 in Warsaw) – activist of the Jewish resistance movement in the Warsaw Ghetto, member of Jewish Combat Organisation (ŻOB), fighter in Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Mira Fuchrer was born in Warsaw. She was active in Hashomer Hatzair youth organisation which is where she likely met Mordechai Anielewicz. Mira and Mordechai got together and in September 1939 they fled to Vilnius. They returned to Warsaw in January 1940 and in November the same year they joined the fate of other Jewish citizens of Warsaw in the ghetto.

In the ghetto Mira worked in a small tailor's shop together with her friends Towa Frenkel and Rachel Zilberberg. In 1942 she visited other ghettos as a courrier.^[1]

During the Ghetto Uprising she fought in the so-called central ghetto. On the 8th of May 1943 she was in a bunker at 18 Mila Street together with Mordechai Anielewicz and a group of about 120 fighters. When the bunker was discovered and surrounded by the Germans the fighters refused to surrender. Majority committed suicide at Arie Wilner's command.^[2]
