Alastair Murray Cutting (born 29 May 1960) is a British Church of England priest. Since 2013, he has served as the Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich in the Diocese of Southwark.
Cutting was born on 29 May 1960 in Birmingham, England, the son of William Alexander Murray Cutting and his wife, Margaret McLean Cutting, née Manderson. He was educated in three different countries: at George Watson's College, an independent school in Edinburgh, Scotland; at Lushington Boys School, a private international Christian school in Ootacamund, India; and at Watford Grammar School for Boys, a state comprehensive school in Watford, England. He grew up in South India where his parents worked at a rural hospital and "where four generations of his family lived and worked for nearly a century".
Cutting took a gap year between school and university, during which he worked with the Salvation Army in South India. He then returned to England where he studied teaching and youth work at Westhill College, University of Birmingham. He graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree. From 1983 to 1984, he worked as a science laboratory technician at a school. In 1984, he entered St John's College, Nottingham, an Open Evangelical Anglican theological college to study theology and train for ordination. During this time, he completed a Licentiate of Theology (LTh) degree and a Diploma in Pastoral Studies (DPS).
