Thomas John Duff (1792–1848)[1] was an Irish architect from Newry, County Down. Duff was the principal architect of a number of Roman Catholic churches and cathedrals in the northeast of Ireland.

His work included three churches dedicated to St.Patrick: St. Patrick's Church, Dundalk (modelled on King's College Chapel, Cambridge);[2] Cathedral Church of St. Patrick and St. Colman, Newry,[3] and Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh city.[4] Duff also designed St. Patrick's School in Belfast, the city's first National School[5] and believed to be the last remaining Gothic Revival building in Belfast[6] and the museum of the Belfast Natural History Society
