Thomas Simpson (Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, 20 de agosto de 1710 — 14 de maio de 1761) foi um matemático e inventor britânico, epônimo da fórmula de Simpson para aproximação de integrais definidas. A atribuição, como frequente em matemática, pode ser debatida: esta fórmula tinha sido obtida 100 anos antes por Johannes Kepler, e na Alemanha era então chamada Keplersche Fassregel.
