Thomas Bartlett Jr. (June 18, 1808 – September 12, 1876) was an American lawyer and politician.

He studied law under Isaac Fletcher at the same time as Thomas J. D. Fuller, and was admitted to the bar in 1833.

In 1851, Bartlett aired his dismay for the current behavior of college students in a letter that appeared in the July 19, 1851, edition of the Caledonian, a newspaper printed at St. Johnsbury, VT.

A pamphlet mocking Bartlett for his criticisms of "the shockingly profane and obscene" language he complains of was circulated in late 1851 with Barlett's letter printed intact and a mocking rebuke of the letter and its author following.
