Thomas Harding (born 1968) is a British/American non-fiction author, journalist, and former documentary maker.

Harding was educated at the Westminster School in London and then studied anthropology and political science at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He worked in television and journalism before becoming an author.

His book Hanns and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz (2013) was a national bestseller in the UK, Italy and Israel and was chosen as a "Book of the Year" for 2013 by The Times, the Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Observer, the Daily Telegraph and the New Statesman. It was shortlisted for the 2013 Costa Book Awards and won the 2015 Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize for non-fiction.

His next book, Kadian Journal, was published in 2014; it is about his son, who died in a cycling accident. Doron Weber of the Washington Post described it as 'a fine, brave book, a tough-minded, tender-hearted evocation of a beautiful boy, his all-too-short life and the impact of his death on a loving family. Harding has done his boy proud and turned nightmare into art.'

The House by the Lake, an account of the five families, including his grandmother, who resided in a house in Berlin, was published in 2015 and was shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards and longlisted for the 2016 Orwell Prize.

Harding has written for numerous newspapers including The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Independent, and The Financial Times. He also co-hosted a political talk show on WEPM (Martinsburg, West Virginia).
