  • Thomas Muir (* 24. August 1765 in Glasgow, Schottland; † 26. Januar 1799 in Chantilly bei Paris), auch Thomas Muir the Younger of Huntershill oder auch Vater der Demokratie in Schottland genannt, war ein Rechtsanwalt und politischer Reformer. Er war einer von fünf sogenannten Schottischen Märtyrern, die sich für bürgerliche Rechte und gegen die Monarchie einsetzten. Dabei geriet er in Widerspruch zur Obrigkeit. Vor Gericht wurde er wegen Volksverhetzung zu einer 14 Jahre lang dauernden Deportation als Sträfling in Australien verurteilt. Von dort gelang ihm im Jahr 1796 eine lange und erlebnisreiche Flucht.
