Thomas Tanner (1830 – 22 July 1918) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in New Zealand.
He represented the Hawkes Bay electorate of Waipawa from 1887 to 1890, when he retired and William Cowper Smith was re-elected to the seat; Smith had held Waipawa until 1887, when he was elected for the new electorate of Woodville (which only existed from 1887 to 1890).[1]
Born in Wiltshire, England, in 1830, Tanner arrived in New Zealand in 1850, and took up a large farm in Hawke's Bay in 1853. He died at Havelock North on 22 July 1918.[2]
