St Thomas's Church, Derby is a Church of England parish church in Derby, Derbyshire.
The church was conceived as a memorial to the late Archdeacon Thomas Hill. The foundation stone was laid on 25 March 1881 by Mrs. Alfred Oliver, daughter of Archdeacon Hill. The architect was Joseph Peacock of Bloomsbury Square, London. Construction proceeded quickly, with the consecration taking place on 22 December 1881.
In 1996 the four parishes of St James’, Derby, St Augustine’s, Derby and St Chad’s, Derby were united as the new parish of Walbrook Epiphany.
An organ was installed in 1881 by Brindley & Foster. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
