Thomas Peabody Grosvenor (December 20, 1778 in Pomfret, Windham County, Connecticut – April 24, 1817 in Waterloo, Howard County, Maryland) was a United States Representative from New York.
Thomas Peabody Grosvenor was born on December 20, 1778 in Pomfret, Windham County, Connecticut. He was the son of Seth Grosvenor (1748–1808) and the grandson of John Grosvenor (1711–1804) and Hannah Dresser (1711–1782). He pursued classical studies, and graduated from Yale College in 1800, where he was President of the Society of Brothers in Unity. He studied law, was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Hudson, New York.
In 1799, he wrote to then Maj. Gen. Alexander Hamilton, recommending Mr. Joseph Hickcox to fill in the vacancy in the 13th Regiment of the Army of the United States caused by the vacancy in the line due to James Gordon's new role as Office of the Quarter Master.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly from 1810 to 1812, and was District Attorney of the Third District (comprising Columbia, Greene and Rensselaer counties) from 1810 to 1811.
Grosvenor was elected as a Federalist to the 12th United States Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert Le Roy Livingston, and was re-elected to the 13th and 14th United States Congresses, serving from January 29, 1813, to March 4, 1817.
