Charles Turner Thackrah, MRCS Eng; (1795, in Leeds – 1833) was an English surgeon. He was a pioneer in the field of occupational medicine, and was a founder member of the Leeds School of Medicine. He died of tuberculosis in 1833, at the age of 38.[1]

A building was opened in his honour and given his name at the University of Leeds in around 2007.
