Thomas Mifflin (1744-1800) was an American merchant, soldier, and politician from Pennsylvania who, during the Revolutionary War served as aide-de-camp to George Washington and, after serving as a delegate to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, became a signer of the Constitution. A year later in 1788, Mifflin succeeded Benjamin Franklin as 7th President of Pennsylvania, later presiding over the committee that wrote Pennsylvania's state constitution which replaced the Executive Council with a single governor.
