John Thomson (14. junij 1837 - 29. september 1921) je bil prvi škotski fotograf, geograf in popotnik v eni osebi. Bil je eden prvih fotografov, ki so potovali na Daljnem vzhodu, fotografirali so ljudje, pokrajine in predmete orientalskih kultur. Ko se je vrnil domov, je začel delati na ulicah Londona. Šteje se za klasično osebnost javne dokumentarne fotografije, ki je bila podlaga za sodobno fotoreporterstvo..
