Oregon v. Cargill is a 1990 ruling of the Oregon Court of Appeals that the Oregon Constitution's initiative and referendum clause, which allows citizens to place measures on the ballot if enough signatures are collected, by extension also allows signature gatherers to enter shopping malls for this purpose.

In 1989, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled in Lloyd Corporation v. Whiffen that mall owners can place reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on circulators.
