Crouch and Wilson was an architectural practice based in Melbourne, Australia in the late nineteenth century. The partnership, between Tasmanian-born Thomas Crouch and recently arrived Londoner Ralph Wilson, commenced in 1857 in Elizabeth Street.{{cite web|title=Ralph Wilson|work=Dictionary of Australian Arts Online|url=http://www.daao.org.au/main/read/6675|accessdate=24 February 2010}}
The firm designed numerous prominent Melbourne buildings including many Presbyterian and Wesleyan churches.{{cite web|title=Victorian School for Deaf Children|publisher=National Trust of Australia - Victoria|url=http://www.nattrust.com.au/trust_register/search_the_register/victorian_school_for_deaf_children|accessdate=24 February 2010}}
