Thomas Colls (1822 – 2 March 1898) was an Australian politician.

He was born in Liverpool to Thomas Colls and Sarah Perkins. He attended a boarding school near Campbelltown before being apprenticed to a wheelwright. In 1847 he moved to Yass, working as a wheelwright, blacksmith and farrier. He became a hotelier in 1848, retiring in 1873. His first marriage was to Elizabeth Clegg in 1842 and produced ten children; the second was to Minnie Linsley in 1894. From 1880 to 1897 Colls was a Yass alderman, serving four times as mayor. In 1886 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the member for Yass Plains. A Protectionist, he held the seat until his defeat in 1894. Colls died at Yass in 1898.[1]
