Major-General Sir Thomas Aiskew Larcom, 1st Baronet PC FRS (24 December 1801 15 June 1879) was a leading official in the early Irish Ordnance Survey that was initiated in 1824. He later became a poor law commissioner, census commissioner and finally executive head of the British administration in Ireland as under-secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, a position the government of the day was eager for him to take.
