Thomas Philip Banks (28 May 1848 – 13 May 1888) was organist of St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney from 1879 to 1888.
Banks was born in London and had some musical training from his mother, and later under Anthony Le Jeune, organist of the Moorfields Catholic chapel.
His first appointment as organist in Australia was to the Church of the Sacred Heart, Darlinghurst, New South Wales.
He quit his daytime job around late 1886 to concentrate on his position as cathedral organist.
He died from pneumonia at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney and his remains were buried at Waverley Cemetery.
