谢振定,湖南湘乡人。
清史稿卷三百二十二 列传一百九:
  谢振定,字一斋,一字芗泉,湖南湘乡人。乾隆四十五年进士,改庶吉士,散馆授编修。五十九年,考选江南道监察御史。巡视南漕,漕艘阻瓜洲,振定祷於神,风转顺漕艘,人称“谢公风”。六十年,迁兵科给事中。巡视东城,有乘违制车骋於衢者,执而讯之,则和珅妾弟也,语不逊,振定命痛笞之,遂焚其车。曰:“此车岂堪宰相坐耶?”居数日,给事中王锺健希和珅意,假他事劾振定,夺职。和珅败,嘉庆五年,起授礼部主事。迁员外郎,充坐粮厅,监收漕粮,裁革陋规,兑运肃然。十四年,卒。
  道光中,振定子兴峣,官河南裕州知州。以卓荐引见,循例奏姓名、里贯。宣宗问:“尔湖南人,乃能为京师语,何也?”兴峣对言:“臣父振定官御史,臣生长京师。”上曰:“尔乃烧车御史子耶?”因褒勉甚至。明日,语军机大臣:“朕少闻烧车御史事,昨乃见其子。”命擢兴峣叙州知府。
