Carl Joseph Fast (simplified Chinese: 发士; traditional Chinese: 發士; pinyin: Fāshì; (also written as 法士) Foochow Romanized: Huák-sê̤ṳ; 8 October 1822 – 13 November 1850) was the second Swedish missionary sent to China and the first Protestant missionary murdered in Fuzhou.
On 1 January 1850 Fast arrived in Foochow (today Fuzhou) as the missionary from the Lutheran Lund Missionary Society of Sweden, and was joined by Anders Elgqvist later that year. The mission they set up in China was short-lived. On 13 November 1850 the two missionaries were brutally assaulted by Chinese pirates when they were coming up the River Min after getting money from a ship. Armed with a pistol Elgqvist survived the attack, but Fast was killed on the spot.
Fast was buried in Fuzhou Nantai. An order was given by then-Fujian Governor Xu Jiyu (徐继畬) to capture the murderers within three days, and the case was finally settled on 18 November, with three criminals brought to justice.
