Sir Thomas Charles Scanlen KCMG (9 July 1834 – 15 December 1912) was a politician and administrator of the Cape Colony.
He was briefly Prime Minister of the Cape Colony, from 1881 to 1884, during an especially turbulent period in the Cape's history, dominated by conflicts such as the Basuto Gun War. He was also the Cape's first locally-born Prime Minister.
