Saint Thomas the Apostle is a 1608-1614 painting of Thomas the Apostle by El Greco, now in the Museo del Prado. The painting is key to Gregorio Marañón's theory that the painter used mental patients at the Hospital del Nuncio as models.

It originally formed part of a series of works produced by the artist for the parish church in Almadrones, Spain, a series which represented a set of variants on a set of paintings of the apostles for Toledo Cathedral.
