Sir Thomas Ekins Fuller KCMG (1831–1910) was editor of the Cape Argus newspaper and a prominent Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cape Colony. Initially a moderate follower of the "Cape Liberal Tradition", he advocated for responsible government (local democracy) in the 1860s as editor of the Cape Argus newspaper (1864–1873). He also supported the inclusive, locally oriented politics of his liberal allies at the time.
