Thomas Goodwillie was a Scottish sculptor active in Moray in the nineteenth century.

He worked with Alexander Reid on numerous buildings, including the parish church at Inverkeithny, and the Falconer Museum in Forres, for which he carved the faces of eminent scientists into the keystones of the arched interior. He also carved the bull's head into the keystone of the arch at the west front of Alexander Ross's large Italianate range at Home Farm in Kinloss, and he created the cartouche featuring Saint Giles in the town hall in Elgin.
