Thomas Road is a major west–east road in the far southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, connecting Rockingham Road (part of Highway 1) in Kwinana's industrial area with Kwinana's urban area, before bridging Perth's agricultural fringe to meet the South Western Highway in Byford, just south of Armadale.{{cite book|title=2011 UBD Perth and Surrounds Street Directory|year=2011|publisher=Universal Publishers Pty Ltd|location=Australia|isbn=978 0 7319 2653 4|pages=409–412, 426–429}} Thomas Road was the terminus of the Kwinana Freeway from 1993 until 2002, and presently serves as the terminus of Tonkin Highway after its extension beyond Albany Highway in 2003.
