Thomas Charles Fuller (February 27, 1832—October 20, 1901) was a prominent politician of the Confederate States of America.

Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, he was the youngest of three children born to Thomas, a merchant, and Catherine Eleanor (Raboteau) Fuller. After his father's premature death, Fuller's mother moved the family to Louisburg, where her husband was originally from. Fuller attended the University of North Carolina from 1849 to 1851 and later returned to Fayetteville and established a law practice there with his brother Bartholomew.^[1]

Upon the outbreak of the American Civil War he served as a colonel in the Confederate Army. He represented North Carolina in the Second Confederate Congress from 1864 to 1865. After the war he was a judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals.^[1]
