Thomas Lobb (1811-1894) was a British botanist and, along with his brother, William Lobb, collected plants for the plant nursery Veitch.

Lobb worked in India, Indonesia and the Philippines. In 1845 he discovered the first orchid species of the genus Phalaenopsis growing in the eastern Himalayas, at an altitude of ~1500 m. This plant, Phalaenopsis lobbii is named in his honour.
