Thomas Ellis Naylor (5 March 1868 – 24 December 1958) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.

A compositor, as his father had been, Naylor was educated at a London Board School and Working Men's College.

He told the Trades Union Congress in 1907 that the Liberal Party-supporting press, which had been supportive, would not prove adequate to future labour conflicts.

[2] In producing the Daily Herald as a newspaper rather than a strike sheet, Naylor is considered the paper's founder jointly with H. W. Hobart, both being syndicalist sympathisers, and having the backing of trade union militants.

In a letter to the South London Press of August 1936, Naylor was strongly critical of remarks by Peter Amigo, his local Catholic bishop.
