Thora Read (Grandma Thora) is a character in the Arthur books and television series. She is the mother of David Read and the grandmother of Arthur, D.W., and Kate. Her husband was never seen or mentioned, so it is likely that she is widowed. She is named after author Marc Brown's grandmother, Thora Brown.

She is shown to be very kind and understanding, but is also a poor cook. She loves bingo and is best friends with Mrs MacGrady, lunchlady for Lakewood Elementary.
