'''(Michael Rogers) Oldfield Thomas''' ([[February 21]], [[1858]] – [[June 16]], [[1929]]) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[zoologist]].
Thomas worked at the [[Natural History Museum]] on [[mammal]]s, describing about 2,000 new [[species]] and sub-species for the first time. He was appointed to the Museum Secretary's office in [[1876]], transferring to the Zoological Department in [[1878]]. In [[1891]] Thomas married an heiress to a small fortune, which gave him the finances to hire mammal collectors and present their specimens to the museum. In [[1896]] when [[William Henry Flower]] took control of the Department he hired [[Richard Lydekker]] to rearrange the exhibitions,<ref>''The Natural History Museum at South Kensington'', William T. Stearn ISBN 0-434-73600-7</ref> allowing Thomas to concentrate on these new specimens.<ref>
