Thomas Hughes Corry (1860 - 1883) was a British botanist.

T.H.Corry studied botany at Cambridge and became Assistant to Professor Babington. As an undergraduate in 1877 he joined S.A. Stewart in the preparation of Flora of the North-east of Ireland. In 1879 he discovered Hieracium hypocharoides in Ireland. In 1883, before he was 24, Corry, with a companion Charles Dickson, lost his life in a boating accident on Lough Gill. Corry's British specimens in the Ulster Museum are dated mainly 1881 - 1883 and are mostly from England.
