A determinatio is an authoritative determination by the legislator concerning the application of practical principles, that is not necessitated by deduction from natural^[1] or divine law^[2] but is based on the contingencies of practical judgement within the possibilities allowed by reason.^[1] The concept derives from the legal philosophy of Thomas Aquinas,^[3] and continues to be a part of discussions in natural law theory.^[4]

In natural law jurisprudence, determinatio is the process of making natural law into positive law.^[4]

In Catholic canon law, determinatio is the act by which natural law or divine positive law is made determinate in the canonical legal system as specific norms of law,^[2] although the content of such law is still essentially that of divine law, which, together with canon law, forms "a single juridical system of law".^[5]
