Thomas Harrison was an architect active, particularly in Cheshire, England, in the late-18th and early-19th centuries. He was born in Richmond, Yorkshire, England in 1744, the son of a joiner and travelled to Italy from 1769 to 1776.
Harrison designed several public and domestic works in England, Scotland and Wales. He even designed works in Russia with a lighthouse on the Black Sea Coast and a palace on the banks of the Dnieper. The latter was, however, never carried out.
Harrison died at his home, St. Martin's Lodge, Chester, on 29 March 1829. He was buried in St. Bridget's Churchyard.
