The Hon. Thomas Reuben Black, (16 October 1832 – 14 September 1905), was a Canadian politician , senator and farmer from Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Black was educated at Amherst Academy and purchased the family farm where he was an innovative and progressive manager. He also acquired real estate in his home town demonstrating his commitment to the area. In 1860, he married Eunice, the daughter of William W. Bent, a former Nova Scotia MLA.
