Farah was able to race clear in the final lap to finish with a time of 28:24.99, while in the sprint for the line behind him Thompson came in narrowly ahead of Daniele Meucci.
"The first European gold feels great and it has taken many years of hard work to achieve this goal," said Farah.
"Chris (Thompson) took the lead and it was a fierce competition where I knew I had to get rid of some of the runners. It's awesome that Chris and I got the double.
"Now I am looking forward to the 5,000m and I need to recover fast," said Farah.
Elsewhere, Belarus continued their domination of the women's shotput as they took gold and silver, a repeat of four years ago.
