Thomas Flanginis (Greek: Θωμάς Φλαγγίνης, Italian: Tommaso Flangini; 1578–1648) was a wealthy Greek[1][2][3] lawyer and merchant in Venice, who founded the Flanginian School, a Greek college where many teachers were trained.[4] The ‘Flanginian School’ established by Thomas Flanginis remained a renowned establishment for several centuries.[5]

His father Apostolos Thomas was originally from the island of Corfu[6] while his mother Maria Flangini was from the island of Cyprus.[5][7][8]
