Malcolm Terel Butler (born March 2, 1990) is a former American football player. He played in the position cornerback. He played his first four seasons with the New England Patriots, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2014.

He was a member of the Tennessee Titans for three seasons after leaving New England. Butler retired ahead of the 2021 season, but returned to the Patriots the following year.

He was a two-time Super Bowl winner and Pro Bowl selection during his Patriots tenure. Butler is best known for his goal line interception in the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX. The interception prevented a go-ahead touchdown and effectively ensured the Patriots' victory. It is regarded as one of the greatest plays in NFL history.[1][2][3]
