Richard Girnt Butler (February 23, 1918 in Bennett, Colorado - September 8?, 2004 in Hayden, Idaho) was an American neo-Fascist leader, who founded the Aryan Nations, whose ideology is a mixture of Christian Identity and National Socialism. He ran a compound in rural Idaho which was the centre of a U.S. neo-nazi network with links worldwide.
Butler was found dead in his bed on September 8, 2004 at the age of 86, apparently of natural causes; it is not known when he died.
