Thomas Maguire (May 9, 1776 – July 17, 1854) was a Canadian Roman Catholic priest, a vicar general and an educator.
Maguire was interested in education and in May 1821 Joseph-Octave Plessis appointed him as part of a committee at Quebec to prepare a constitution for the Quebec Education Society. The committee was led by Joseph-François Perrault.
He supported Bishop Jean-Jacques Lartigue in his struggle with the Sulpicians in the Montreal district.
