Thomson Directories Ltd or Thomson Local, is a business directory company like yellow pages. It was founded in 1981 in Hampshire, England. Thomson Local offers business listings printed and as of 2003, online. The printed directory was distributed without charge to households and businesses, reaching some 22 million homes and businesses at its peak.

In the 1990s, the company expanded its operations to include its own online directory in the shape of thomsonlocal.com and a range of partner implementations supplying classified and keyword based listings to companies such as MSN, StreetMap, Pipex and many others. In July 2010, Thomson Local signed a multi-year agreement to become the UK's first re-seller of adCenter, the pay-per-click platform for Microsoft's search engine Bing. Later that year, the company launched an app for iPhone which has since been discontinued.

As of 2016, the company ceased the production and delivery of printed directories, opting instead to offer their services digitally. Around 2017, Thomson Local operates from their new head office in the Templer building of Farnborough Business Park overlooking Farnborough Airport.
