Thaddeus Coleman Pound (December 6, 1832 – November 20 or 21, 1914) was an American businessman from Wisconsin who served in both house of the Wisconsin legislature, as the tenth Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, and as a U.S. Representative (1877–1883). His brother was Albert Pound, who also served in the Wisconsin Assembly. He was the grandfather of poet Ezra Pound.
Born in Elk Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, Pound moved with his parents, Judith Coleman and Elijah Pound, to Monroe County, New York in 1838 and then to the city of Rochester, New York, afterwards moving to what is now Rock County, Wisconsin.
He became a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate. Pound was elected as Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin serving under Governor Lucius Fairchild from January 3, 1870 till January 1, 1872. In 1876, Pound was elected as a Republican to the Forty-fifth Congress, replacing Democrat George W. Cate in representing Wisconsin's 8th congressional district. He was reelected to the Forty-sixth, and Forty-seventh Congresses.(March 4, 1877 – March 3, 1883); and was succeeded in the 48th Congress by fellow Republican William T. Price.
