contents We give a geometric characterisation of those groups that arise as fixed subgroups of finite-order untwisted automorphisms of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs). They are precisely the fundamental groups of a class of compact special cube complexes that we term "divisible". The main corollary is that surface groups arise as fixed subgroups of finite-order automorphisms of RAAGs, as do all commutator subgroups of right-angled Coxeter groups. These appear to be the first examples of such fixed subgroups that are not themselves isomorphic to RAAGs. Using a variation of canonical completions, we also observe that every special group arises as the fixed subgroup of an automorphism of a finite-index subgroup of a RAAG.
