Fiddle Bow is an unincorporated community located in south-west Hopkins County, Kentucky, United States. It was populated as early as 1913. The town takes its name from a black oak tree that once lived in the area that had the appearance of a violin bow. A notorious highwayman, Micajah Harpe (AKA Big Harp), one of the Harpe brothers, was reputedly executed in the area.
