David N. Thomas (born 1945) is a British writer.

Born in 1945, Thomas was brought up in south Wales, and studied at a number of English universities. He worked in London as a community worker, and then as a lecturer at the National Institute for Social Work and Chief Executive at the Community Development Foundation.[1] He was also a founder member of the European Community Development Network, [2] and a Council of Europe Fellow. [3] He has published widely on community work, including Skills in Neighbourhood Work, with Paul Henderson.[4]

Thomas retired back to Wales in the early 1990s, and since then has written about the life and death of Dylan Thomas. His first book on Thomas was published in 2000, A Farm, Two Mansions and a Bungalow. The film rights were sold to make The Edge of Love.[5]
