Cornelius Thomas Young (July 28, 1908 – July 25, 1980) was an American lawyer and Democratic politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was a member of the Wisconsin Senate and Wisconsin State Assembly, and served as the 53rd speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly when the Democrats held the majority in the 1933 legislative session. He was only 24 years old at the start of that session, making him the youngest speaker in the history of the Wisconsin Legislature. He later worked as a lawyer and lobbyist for Wisconsin Electric.
