Thomas De Koninck (born 1934 in Leuven, Belgium) is a philosopher from Québec.

After studying at Oxford (M.A.), Université Laval (Ph.D), and Freie Universität Berlin, he became professor at University of Notre Dame (1960–1964) in the United States and at Université Laval (1964– ) in Québec. A well-known rumor posits that as a child he inspired Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's character The Little Prince when Saint-Exupéry was living in the house of his father, Charles De Koninck, in Québec City, in 1942.[1]
