Thomas Wilmer Dewing (May 4, 1851 - November 5, 1938) was an American painter working at the turn of the 20th century.
Schooled in Paris, Dewing was noted for his figure paintings of aristocratic women. He was a founding member of the Ten American Painters and taught at the Art Students League of New York. The Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution has a collection of his works.
He was the husband of fellow artist Maria Oakey Dewing.
