Thomas Willis Cobb (1784 – February 1, 1830) was an American politician who served as a United States representative and Senator from Georgia.
He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection to the Seventeenth Congress, but was elected to the Eighteenth Congress and served from March 4, 1823, to December 6, 1824, when he resigned, having been elected to the U.S. Senate; while a Representative during the Eighteenth Congress, he was chairman of the Committee on Public Expenditures.
He was elected to the Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Nicholas Ware and served from December 6, 1824, until his resignation in 1828.
The press announced that he would "probably resign" in August 1828,[1] and his successor, Oliver H. Prince, took office in November 1828.
