Thomas William Parsons (August 18, 1819, Boston – September 3, 1892, Scituate, Massachusetts[1]) was an American dentist and poet.

Parsons was educated at the Boston Latin School, and visited Italy to study Italian literature in 1836-7.[2] His translation of Dante's Divine Comedy, which eventually comprised all the Inferno, two-thirds of the Purgatorio and fragments of the Paradiso,[3] began to appear in 1843.[2] After practicing dentistry in Boston, he lived for several years in England before returning to Boston in 1872.[4] He was a contributor to The Galaxy and The Atlantic Monthly.[2] In 1857 he married Anna (or Hannah) M. Allen (1821-1881).
