Timothy Hackworth (1786–1850) was a colliery blacksmith who became involved in early locomotive building. He moved to Shildon in 1825 to become the resident engineer on the soon-to-be opened Stockton & Darlington Railway.
He was a prominent Methodist, and his house is now part of Locomotion, which interprets his role in the development of the railways and Shildon through contemporary displays.
