Thomas Henry Wyatt (9 May 1807 – 5 August 1880) was an Irish British architect. He had a prolific and distinguished career, being elected President of the Royal Institute of British Architects 1870-73 and awarded their Royal Gold Medal for Architecture in 1873. His reputation during his lifetime was largely as a safe establishment figure and critical assessment has been less favourable more recently, particularly in comparison with his younger brother, the better known Matthew Digby Wyatt.
