St Thomas the Apostle Rural is a civil parish in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The modern parish was created in 1894 from the part of the older parish of St Thomas the Apostle, also known as St Thomas-by-Launceston (Cornish: Sen Tommos Lannstefan), which lay outside the borough boundaries of Launceston. The main settlement in the parish today is Tregadillett (Cornish: Tregadylet).

The parish lies to the west of the town of Launceston. It is bounded to the east by Launceston, to the south by South Petherwin, to the west by Trewen, and to the north by Egloskerry and St Stephens by Launceston Rural. At the 2021 census the population of the parish was 970.
