Thomas Hartwell Horne (20 October 1780 – 27 January 1862) was an English theologian and librarian. He was born in London and educated at Christ’s Hospital until he was 15 when his father died and he had to work. He then became a clerk to a barrister, and used his spare time to write.

Horne was initially affiliated with the Wesleyans but later joined the Church of England. He was admitted to holy orders without the usual preliminaries, because of his published work. In 1833 he obtained a benefice in London and a prebend in St Paul’s Cathedral.

Horne was a librarian in 1814 at the Surrey Institution, which was dissolved in 1823. He was admitted sizar to St John’s College, Cambridge in 1819. In 1824 he joined the staff at the British Museum and was senior assistant in the printed books department there until 1860. He prepared a new system for cataloguing books at the museum but it was never used there. He did use it, however, to reclassify the extensive library of Frances Mary Richardson Currer in 1833.
