Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Thomas Petters Carnes (1762 in Bladensburg, Maryland – May 5, 1822 in Milledgeville, Georgia) was an American lawyer and politician from Franklin County, Georgia. He served as a colonel in the Maryland Line during the American Revolution and received bounty land in Franklin County for his service.

He served in the Georgia House of Representatives at Milledgeville as a state court judge, represented Georgia in the United States House of Representatives from 1793 until 1795, losing reelection to John Milledge. He also ran for the U.S. House in 1791[1] and 1796,[2] and was the Federalist nominee for U.S. Senate in 1798[3] and 1800,[4] as well as in the 1801[5] and 1802[6] gubernatorial elections. Carnesville, Georgia, is his namesake.[7] Although he considered his home to be Athens in Clarke County (created from Franklin County), he died in Milledgeville and is buried there at Memory Hill Cemetery.
