Sir Thomas Spurgeon Page CBE (19 October 1879 – 10 February 1958)[1] was a Northern Rhodesian politician who was a member of the Legislative Council and its first Speaker.

[2][3] After leaving school at 15, he worked at his father's solicitors offices, before joining a firm that imported German goods as a clerk.

Page moved back to England in 1901 after suffering from malaria,[1] but returned to Africa, relocating to Fort Jameson in Northern Rhodesia in 1907 to join his sister Grace and her husband farming cotton and tobacco.

[5] In 1939 he bought a cottage on the outskirts of Fort Jameson and became the secretary of the Eastern Tobacco Board and the Farmers' Association, as well as doing bookkeeping.

Page did not stand in the August 1948 elections, but on 10 November he was appointed the first Speaker of the Legislative Council, replacing the Governor who had previously presided over the legislature.
