Albert-Félix-Théophile Thomas (1847—1907) was a French architect.

Thomas was born in Marseilles, and was a student of Alexis Paccard and Leon Vaudoyer at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He won the first Grand Prix de Rome in 1870, and became the youngest winner of the Academy of France in Rome from February 15, 1871 to December 31, 1874. In 1875 he studied the Temple of Apollo at Miletus, and his study of the Temple of Athena at Priene earned him a medal at the Exposition Universelle (1878).

Thomas participated in the design and construction of the Grand Palais in Paris from 1896 to 1900, particularly the west wing, which became in 1937, the Palais de la Découverte. He died in Paris.
