Thomas George Bond Howes, FRS (7 September 1853 Newington, London - 4 February 1905 Chiswick) was an English zoologist.

The comprehensiveness of the biology courses at the Royal College of Science attested to his knowledge and thoroughness.

He invested much of his energy in founding and supporting societies concerned with the natural sciences, serving as office bearer in many of these.

[3] Howes's main interest lay with the comparative anatomy of the Vertebrata, a field to which he made significant contributions.

An important account, which Howes co-authored with H. H. Swinnerton, dealt with the development of the skeleton of the Norfolk Island reptile, the Tuatara or Sphenodon and appeared in Transactions of the Zoological Society, 1901.
