Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas FRIBA (24 February 1868 – 22 January 1948) was an English architect who trained at Westminster School of Art and became an exponent of the Baroque Revival, a style of architecture prevalent for public buildings in the early years of the 20th century.^[1]

Thomas was born in Rotherhithe, London,^[2] the son of architect Edward Thomas.^[3]

In 1899, he designed the West of England Eye Infirmary building in Exeter, which is now a hotel.^[4]

In 1906, he was made a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, knighted by King Edward VII, and also designed two more public buildings: town halls in Woolwich in South East London, and in the city of Belfast.^[5][6] Belfast City Hall, faced with portland stone and with a copper dome and lavish marble interiors, is thought of as the finest example of Edwardian Baroque in the British Isles.^[7]

Sir Alfred is also known for his war memorials at Dunkirk and Belfast.^[8]
