Sir Thomas Richardson (28 December 1846 – 22 May 1906)[1] was an English Liberal Unionist politician.
Richardson stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in The Hartlepools at the 1892 general election, losing by a narrow margin of 76 votes (less than 1% of the total) to the sitting Liberal Party member, Christopher Furness.[2] He won the seat at the 1895 general election, with a majority of 81 votes, but at the next general election, in October 1900, Furness retook the seat with a large majority.[2] Richardson did not stand again.
