The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) ialah undang-undang persekutuan Amerika Syarikat yang diluluskan oleh Kongres Amerika Syarikat ke-104 dan ditandatangani oleh Presiden Bill Clinton. Ia menetapkan perkahwinan untuk tujuan persekutuan sebagai penyatuan seorang lelaki dan seorang wanita, dan membenarkan negeri-negeri untuk menolak untuk mengiktiraf perkahwinan sesama jenis yang diberikan berdasarkan undang-undang negeri lain. Peruntukan akta tersebut diputuskan tidak berperlembagaan atau dibiarkan tidak dapat dilaksanakan oleh keputusan Mahkamah Agung dalam kes United States v. Windsor (2013) dan Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).^[1]^[2]
