Thomas Common (1850–1919) was a translator and critic, who translated several books by Friedrich Nietzsche into English. There is little information about him biographically, though indications are that he was a very well-educated and literate scholar. He lived in the area of Corstorphine, Scotland which is now a suburb of Edinburgh.In the mid-1890s, he joined a project led by Alexander Tille to produce a complete English edition of Nietzsche's work.
