Thomas Combe (1796 – 30 June 1872) was a British printer, publisher and patron of the arts.

[1] After working with his father and, between around 1824 and 1826 with Joseph Parker in Oxford, he was freed by the Stationers' Company and went into business in his own right.

In 1826, he was briefly in partnership with Michael Angelo Nattali in London, but before the end of the year he had returned to Leicester to join the family business (which was styled T. Combe and Son between 1826 and 1835).

In 1849, he met John Everett Millais in Oxford, who painted portraits of Combe's family.

[4] Combe is buried in St Sepulchre's Cemetery, off Walton Street, near the University Press.
