Léon-Benoît-Charles Thomas (1826–1894) was a French cardinal.

He studied in Paris and Rome and earned a doctorate in theology in 1856.

He served as Bishop of La Rochelle (1867–1883) and Archbishop of Rouen (1883–1894).

He died in 1894 and was buried in the chapel of Sainte-Marguerite in Rouen; bombings during WWII damaged his tomb, and his remains were transferred to the crypt of the archbishops in the chapel of the Sainte-Vierge.
