Thomas West of West Point (c. 1704–1743) was a Virginia planter who like his father Captain Thomas West represented his native King William in the House of Burgesses, but only for the year before his death (1742–1743), whereupon he was succeeded by Bernard Moore. This Thomas West also inherited the 4000 acre ancestral plantation, West Point, after the death of his cousin Charles West. This Thomas West married Martha Cole, daughter of William Cole, and had children, including John West.
