Thomas Reynolds (1818 – 25 February 1875) was the fifth Premier of South Australia, serving from 9 May 1860 to 8 October 1861.
He was born in England in 1818, and on leaving school had experience in the grocery business. He came to South Australia in 1840 as an early colonist at the invitation of his brother, who had a draper's shop at Adelaide. The brother had died by the time Thomas Reynolds arrived and he soon opened a grocer's shop, was successful for a time, but like many others fell into financial difficulties when the gold rush began.
He became an alderman in the Adelaide City Council in 1854, but a few months afterwards resigned to enter the South Australian Legislative Council. In 1857 he was elected for Sturt in the first South Australian House of Assembly. From September 1857 to June 1858 he was commissioner of public works in the Hanson ministry, and in May 1860 he became premier and treasurer.
