Thomas Turnbull (1824–1907) was a New Zealand architect. Turnbull was born in Scotland and articled to various practices in Britain before establishing his own practice in Melbourne. Turnbull later moved to San Francisco until discontent with the profession in America lead him to move and work in New Zealand. In New Zealand Turnbull designed over 300 buildings, primarily around Wellington but also in the Wairarapa, New Plymouth, Nelson, and Blenheim. Many of his surviving works have heritage registration with his most notable building being the General Assembly Library.
