Thaddeus Vincenty (born Tadeusz Szpila; 27 October 1920 – 6 March 2002) was a Polish American geodesist who worked with the U.S. Air Force and later the National Geodetic Survey to adapt three-dimensional adjustment techniques to NAD 83.He devised Vincenty's formulae, a geodesic calculation technique published in 1975 which is accurate to about half a millimeter. His contributions to the NAD 83 include the introduction of three dimensional Earth-centered coordinates, which unifies locations on Earth with locations in space, an essential development for the Global Positioning System.

Von ihm stammt unter anderem ein Algorithmus zur Lösung der ersten und zweiten Hauptaufgabe der Geodäsie aus dem Jahr 1975. Er war maßgeblich an der Erstellung des "NAD83" (North American Datum) beteiligt. Vincenty wanderte im Jahr 1947 in die USA aus. Seine Ehefrau hieß Barbara. Er hatte eine Tochter mit dem Namen Krysia und zwei Söhne mit den Namen Michael und Richard. (de)
