Sir Thomas Angus Lyall Paton CMG FRS FREng FICE FIStructE (10 May 1905 – 7 April 1999) was a British civil engineer from Jersey. Paton was born into a family that had founded the civil engineering firms of Easton, Gibb & Son and Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners and he would spend his entire professional career working for the latter.
Following his graduation from University College London one of his first jobs was the construction of a dam in Maentwrog in Wales.
Paton later became an expert on dams and much of his career was devoted to their construction.
In 1931 he undertook an economic survey of Canada which recommended a programme of works for its port system. This report was still being used into the 1970s.
During the Second World War Paton was involved with the construction of gun emplacements in the Dardanelles, Turkey and of caissons for the Mulberry Harbours used after the Invasion of Normandy.
