Richard Girnt Butler (February 23, 1918 – September 8, 2004) was an American engineer, revolutionary, and white separatist. After dedicating himself to the Christian Identity movement, a racialist offshoot of British Israelism, Butler founded the National Socialist Aryan Nations and would become the "spiritual godfather"[1] to the white separatist movement, in which he was a leading figure.[2] He has been described as a "notorious racist".[1]
