Thomas Young MD, FRCSEd, FRCPE (10 March 1725 - 5 February 1783) was an Edinburgh surgeon and obstetrician who was Professor of Midwifery at the University of Edinburgh. He was the first holder of that post to conduct a course of lectures on midwifery. In 1755 he financed the setting up of a lying-in ward in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, the first of its kind in Scotland and one of the first in Britain. In addition to lectures to medical students he gave lectures to midwives, and provided certification for them. In 1756 he was elected deacon or president of the Incorporation (later Royal College) of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
