Thomas Hope (December 25, 1757 – October 4, 1820) was an English-born American architect and house joiner, active primarily in Knoxville, Tennessee. Trained in London, Hope moved to Knoxville in 1795 where he designed and built several of the city's earliest houses. At least two houses built by Hope—the Ramsey House (1797) in east Knoxville and Statesview (ca. 1806) in West Knoxville— are still standing and have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
