Reginald "Reg" Heber Thomas AFC (11 January 1907 – 14 March 1946) was a Welsh middle-distance runner. He competed at the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics and the 1930 British Empire Games. He missed the 1936 Summer Olympics because of injury, and did not compete in the 1934 British Empire Games for Wales, because of English objections. At both Olympics he was eliminated in the first round of the 1500 metres event. At the 1930 Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario, he won the gold medal in the mile and the silver medal in the 880 yards. He could not compete for Wales because Wales did not have a national athletics association at the time. Welsh track and field athletes could only compete for England in 1930 although Welsh swimmers did compete for their home nation.
In 1931 he broke the 10 year old British record for the mile with 4 mins. 13.4 secs to underline his status as Britain’s leading miler. He also took the AAA mile title three times - in 1930, 1931 and 1933, also winning 8 Welsh titles between 1929 and 1936.
In 1940, Heber was commissioned in the Royal Air Force. On 8 June 1944 Thomas, now a flight lieutenant, was awarded the Air Force Cross (AFC).
In 1946 he was a squadron leader and was killed piloting an Avro Lancaster bomber; after take-off from RAF Aston Down all the engines failed and the bomber crashed into a nursing home at Brownshill near Chalford. He was buried at Haycombe Cemetery in Bath.

Reg Thomas (6 July 1909 – 5 December 1966) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Thomas crossed to Williamstown in the VFA in 1938 without a clearance from the Swans where he was captain-coach of the Seconds. Thomas was vice-captain of the 1939 Williamstown premiership side and went on to play 63 games and kick 119 goals with 'Town from 1938 up until the end of 1941, although a broken foot and war-related employment restricted Thomas to just 5 games in his last season. He was awarded the most effective player trophy and best attendance at training in 1938, and was the most improved player in 1940.
