Tenet v. Doe, 544 U.S. 1 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the court ruled unanimously that spies (those recruited for espionage by the Central Intelligence Agency) cannot sue the CIA or the United States government to enforce an espionage contract.

When he was recruited, the CIA promised to resettle him, and his wife, in the United States and ensure financial security for life.

In considering Tenet v. Doe, the Supreme Court upheld the Totten v. United States decision.

Therefore, the law continues to deny Doe and other spies the right to sue the United States and the CIA for alleged violations of espionage agreements.

The court considered it to be of the utmost importance, "rather than tempt fate",[3] to maintain the secrecy of these agreements.
