Nathaniel Frampton Davis Thomson (born May 29, 1839, Surry Hills, Sydney, New South Wales; died September 2, 1896, Burwood, Sydney) was an Australian cricketer who played in the first two Tests ever played, in 1877. Thomson has the distinction of being the first batsmen dismissed in a Test match when he was clean bowled by England's Allen Hill.

Thomson was offered a position on the Australian touring team to England in 1878 but declined due to business reasons and thus finished his brief international career.
