======================
Thomas Vautrollier or Vautroullier (died
1587) was a French Huguenot refugee who became a printer in England and,
briefly, in Scotland.

Vautrollier emigrated to London from Paris or Rouen
about the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth I (1558), and was granted letters
of denization on 9 March 1562.
He was admitted a brother of the Stationers'
Company on 2 October 1564, and probably worked as a servant to some printer
until 1570, when he established a press in Blackfriars.
