Charles Jayam Thambyrajah Thamotheram (19 September 1918 – 27 October 2005) was a Sri Lankan Tamil teacher, publisher and social worker.
Thamotheram was born on 19 September 1918 in Thunnalai in northern Ceylon.
He was the son of C. P. Thamotheram, principal of Hartley College, and Huldah Thangamma Arulampalam.
He was educated at St. John's College, Jaffna, Hartley College and St. Joseph's College, Colombo.
He then joined Ceylon University College, graduating with a second class honours degree in science.
In 1939, at the age of 20, Thamotheram was appointed as a school master at Hartley College.

Thamotheram then received the Smith-Mundt scholarship to study in the USA.
After a year, he returned to Wesley College but when the post of principal became vacant, Thamotheram should have been appointed but the discriminatory policies prevalent in Ceylon at that time meant he was ignored.
Thamotheram married Florence Thiviamalar (Malar), daughter of Rev. N. K. Nalliah, in 1944.
They had three sons (Vijay, Priya, and Raj) and three daughters (Sunetra, Thiru and Shantini).

He emigrated to the UK in 1961 and taught at grammar school in Luton for a few years before joining the independent Latymer Upper School in 1965.
Thamotheram founded the Association of Commonwealth Teachers in 1966.
He was also very active amongst the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora in the UK.
He was founder and vice-president of the Standing Committee of Tamils (SCOT) in 1977.
He was the founder and headmaster of the UK's first Tamil school, the West London Tamil School in Greenford, from 1978 to 1982.
He, along with others, founded the Tamil Times magazine in 1981.
Thamotheram was managing director, editor and circulation manager of the magazine.
