Hugh Christopher Thomson (1791 – April 23, 1834) was a businessman, newspaper publisher and political figure in Upper Canada.
He was born in Kingston in Upper Canada in 1791, the son of a Scottish immigrant who served with Joseph Brant during the American Revolution.
The family moved from Kingston to Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) and then York (Toronto), where Thomson began work as a clerk in a general store.
He also printed pamphlets, books and reports, including The statutes of the province of Upper Canada in 1831.
His brother Edward William Thomson was also a member of the legislative assembly of the province.
