Thomas Lord (23 November 1755 – 13 January 1832) was a celebrated English professional cricketer, who prospered as a wine merchant in Georgian times.

Lord played from 1787 to 1802, making a brief comeback in 1815, after Wellington's victory at Waterloo, to play for Surrey versus Lord Frederick Beauclerk's England at his new ground near St John's Wood.

Lord made 90 known appearances in important matches, mostly for Middlesex and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). His legacy continues today as the founder of Lord's Cricket Ground.
