Terence Gavaghan (1 October 1922 – 10 August 2011) was a British colonial administrator. As a colonial district officer in Kenya, he was responsible for six detention centres in Mwea during the Mau Mau insurrection of the 1950s. Gavaghan was identified by Espon Makanga as one of three colonial officers who developed the 'dilution technique': "They beat us from the day we arrived, with sticks, with their fists, kicking us with their boots. They beat us to make us work. They beat us to force us to confess our Mau Mau oath. After a year I couldn't take it any longer. Gavaghan had won".

Gavaghan was in charge at Mwea, when Mwea was very bad. That was when detainees were being hung up from the roof of a building, while naked, and cold water would be poured onto his naked body and then he would be whipped...Mwea was a terrible place during that man's time. He...[was] very cruel to the detainees.
