The Blind Beggar is a pub located at 337 Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel, London.

The Blind Beggar is notorious for its connection to East End gangsters, the Kray twins. On 9 March 1966, Ronnie Kray shot and murdered George Cornell, an associate of a rival gang, as he was sitting at the bar.

The pub is also a popular starting point for the Monopoly Pub Crawl, despite being located on the board's third space.
