April Fabb (22 April 1955 - disappeared 8 April 1969) was a 13-year-old schoolgirl who went missing just after 2pm on 8 April 1969 between the villages of Metton (her home) and Roughton, Norfolk, United Kingdom.

She had left her home to ride over to her sister's house, in Roughton, to deliver a birthday present to her brother-in-law. At about 2:15pm her bicycle was found lying in a field adjacent to Back Lane, Metton;^[1] only a few hundred yards from her home. Despite extensive police searches, no trace of her has ever been found.^[2]

This case is very similar to that of Genette Tate, who disappeared while riding a bike in Aylesbeare, Devon in 1978.^[3]

Investigations are continuing.^[4]
