The Thomas Jefferson, 23 U.S. 428 (1825), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the court held that admiralty jurisdiction did not extend to navigable rivers within the United States. The court strictly construed language in the Judiciary Act of 1789 to conclude that Congress did not intend to change the extent of admiralty jurisdiction.
