Thomas Natural Shorthand is an English shorthand system created by Charles A. Thomas which was first published in 1935.

Teeline shorthand shares largely the same philosophy and approach as Thomas Natural Shorthand; it is however more accessible to beginners since the symbols used are themselves based on the Latin alphabet (although so abstractly that most would consider Teeline a symbol, rather than alphabetic, system).
