Thomas Simpson (Market Bosworth, 20 agosto 1710 – Market Bosworth, 14 maggio 1761) è stato un matematico britannico. È noto soprattutto per il procedimento di calcolo approssimato integrali definiti chiamato comunemente regola di Simpson o anche regola di Cavalieri-Simpson. A lui viene attribuita pure la formulazione della variabile casuale di Simpson.
