Sir Thomas William Moffett (3 June 1820 – 6 July 1908) was an Irish scholar and educationalist, who served as president of Queen's College Galway.
From May 1848, he held the position of headmaster of the Classical Department and professor of logic and belles lettres at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution.
Moffett was known for his skill and power as an orator,[citation needed] and his ability to quote at will long extracts from the poems and sagas of antiquity, as well as more modern verse.
Moffett delivered popular lectures in Ardee, Armagh, Belturbet, Clonmel, Coleraine, Derry, Downpatrick, Dublin, Dundalk, Dungannon, Galway, Holywood, Kilkenny, Lisburn, Lurgan, Trim and Waterford.
After an illness of several weeks' duration, during which he was attended by his old student and lifelong friend Sir William Thomson, he died at his home there on 6 July 1908.
