Marsena Edgar Cutts (May 22, 1833 – September 1, 1883) was a nineteenth-century politician and lawyer from Iowa.

He moved to Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin in 1853 where he taught school for two years and studied law.

[1] After a very close general election, Iowa's State Board of Canvassers concluded that Cutts had won 106 more votes.

[2] This enabled Cutts to be sworn in in 1881 and to initially serve as a congressman, as Cook pursued a contest of the election with the Republican-controlled U.S. House in the 47th United States Congress.

[6] The House accepted this recommendation in time for Cutts to serve only a single day of the term, on March 3, 1883, and to collect his salary.
