Cutter v. Wilkinson, 544 U.S. 709 (2005)^[1], is a case decided by the United States Supreme Court on May 31, 2005, which holds that under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), prisoners in facilities that accept federal funds cannot be denied accommodations necessary to engage in activities for the practice of their own religious beliefs.

The case was brought by five residents of an Ohio prison, which included two adherents of Asatru, a minister of the white supremacist Church of Jesus Christ Christian, a Wiccan and a Satanist.[2]

The Court returned a unanimous opinion, written by Justice Ginsburg, with a concurring opinion by Justice Thomas.
