Eight people (or ten, see below) were executed for involvement in the gunpowder plot.
Everard Digby, Robert Wintour, John Grant, and Thomas Bates were hanged and then cut down and castrated, disembowelled, and then quartered on January 30th.
The next day Thomas Wintour, Ambrose Rookwood, Robert Keyes, and Guy Fawkes were hanged, drawn, and quartered.
Steven Littleton and Henry Garnet were executed some time later.
Robert Catesby and Thomas Percy were killed trying to escape after the plot was exposed. However their bodies were exhumed so that they also could be decapitated. It is debatable as to whether or not this can be counted as an execution, so I have not included it in the tally above.
