Safia Thomas (born Safia Nafisa Shah on 16 November 1966; Persian: سفیا شاه, Gujarati: સફિયા શાહ) is a British writer, editor, television news producer and member of the Afghan-Indian Shah family.

She and her husband Ian also founded and ran a respected traditional delicatessen A. Gold in London, specializing in entirely British fare, painstakingly renovating the historic building in the process. They ran this business for several years before moving to live close to Casablanca in Morocco, and later moved to Wincanton in South Somerset, where they set up a design workshop and child-friendly café, Bootmakers, and a humanitarian book project, Kashfi's Children.
