Thomas Sanderson (September 13, 1827 – October 11, 1912) was an English American immigrant, farmer, and Republican politician.

He served one term in the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Columbia County.

In 1851, he left Slaidburn and came to Wisconsin with his wife and children, joining his brother Robert in Columbia County[1] by 1851.

Sanderson was not a candidate for re-election; the two seats were both filled by Republicans (Henry Charles Brace and Jacob Low, respectively).

He died at his home in Poynette, Wisconsin on October 11, 1912, where he had been living since his retirement twenty years before.
