The County of Deas Thompson is a county (a cadastral division) in Queensland, Australia. It is situated between the cities of Gladstone and Rockhampton. The county is divided into civil parishes. The county was named for Edward Deas Thomson, a New South Wales politician, but the name was misspelt Thompson when applied to the county.
The county was created on 1 September 1855 by royal proclamation under the Waste Lands Australia Act 1846. On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897. Its schedule described Deas Thompson thus:
Bounded on the south by the county of Clinton; on the west by the western boundaries of the parishes of Raglan and Ultimo; on the north by the northern boundaries of the parishes of Ultimo, San Jose and Casuarina; and on the east by the Pacific Ocean,—including Curtis and Facing and other adjacent islands.
