Alpheus Cutler (1784–1864), an early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement, and reorganizer of the Church of Jesus Christ (Cutlerite).

Baptised into the early Mormon church in 1833, Cutler was a member of the Nauvoo High Council, the Anointed Quorum, and the Council of Fifty. By late 1847 Cutler had established a settlement along Silver Creek in Mills County, Iowa. Increasingly dissatisfied with the leadership of Brigham Young, Cutler next led his followers to his new settlement of Manti near modern-day Shenandoah, Iowa and established his own branch of the Latter-Day Saints before his death.
