The Goldwater Institute is a conservative and libertarian public policy think tank located in Phoenix, Arizona,[4] whose stated mission is "to defend and strengthen the freedom guaranteed to all Americans in the constitutions of the United States and all fifty states".[2] The organization was established in 1988 with the support of former Senator Barry Goldwater.

The Goldwater Institute was primarily a public policy research organization until 2007 when it added a litigation arm, becoming the first state-based policy organization to do so.[4][5] Goldwater's litigation arm, the Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation, engages in lawsuits against government entities across the United States.[6]
