Thomas Michael Williamson (1853 – 16 December 1921) was an Australian politician.

He was born in Sydney to typesetter William Williamson and Anna Maria Annesley, and grandson of Michael Williamson who both served as mayors of Redfern. He attended Lyndhurst College and became a solicitor, and a partner in the firm Williamson & Williamson. Around 1874 he married Annie McNamara, with whom he had seven children. Thomas Michael Williamson served as an alderman and mayor of Redfern, Ermington and Rydalmere. In 1885 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Redfern, but he did not re-contest in 1887. In 1896 he moved to Western Australia, where he was a commercial agent until his death in Perth in 1921.[1]
