Gabriel-Jules Thomas was a French sculptor, born in Paris.
Thomas attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and in 1848 he won the Prix de Rome in the sculpture category with his Philoctete partant pour le siege de Troie (Philoctetes Leaves for the Siege of Troy) in plaster. This piece was briefly displayed in New York City at the Dahesh Museum of Art for their 2005–2006 exhibition entitled - The Legacy of Homer. It is normally kept at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
He later taught at the Ecole. Among his students were Gaston Lachaise and American sculptor, August Zeller.
