Thomas Reed (1817–1878), was a Danish architect born in the 19th century in the Saint Croix Island (in the time when it was a dependent territory of the Kingdom of Denmark).
In Bogotá he was contracted to build the New Granada National Capitol by the president Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera.
He also designed the Panopticon prison which was adapted in 1975 for the Colombian National Museum.
Later he travelled to Ecuador and became the government architect under the presidency of Gabriel García Moreno.
He also planned the reconstruction of the town of Babahoyo, destroyed by several fires.
