Thomas Bragg (November 9, 1810 – January 21, 1872) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 34th Governor of the U.S. state of North Carolina from 1855 through 1859.

Born in Warrenton, North Carolina, to a middle-class, slaveowning family,[1] Bragg attended Warrenton Academy and later graduated from Captain Partridge’s American Literary, Scientific & Military Academy (now known as Norwich University – The Military College of Vermont).

He was a member of the North Carolina General Assembly from 1842 to 1843 and became the prosecuting attorney for Northampton County.

In 1870, Bragg served as special counsel in the impeachment proceedings of Governor William Woods Holden, related to the latter's efforts to curb the influence of the Ku Klux Klan in Reconstruction-era North Carolina.

[4] His home at Jackson, the Amis-Bragg House, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
