Thomas Lockyer (1 November 1826 in Croydon, Surrey – 22 December 1869 in Croydon) was a famous English cricketer during the game's roundarm era. He was one of the outstanding wicket-keepers of the 19th century.

Tom Lockyer was a right-handed batsman. As well as keeping wicket, he also bowled right-arm fast-medium, roundarm, particularly in his final years with Surrey.

His first-class career extended from the 1849 English cricket seasontothe 1866 season. He took 301 catches in 223 matches and made 123 stumpings. As a bowler he took 119 wickets at an average of 19.73 with a best analysis of 6/33. He took five wickets in an innings 10 times, and 10 wickets in a match once. He scored 4917 runs at an average of 15.86 with a highest score of 108 not out, which was his only century, against Nottinghamshire in 1864, when he also took 6 for 44 in the second innings after keeping wicket in the first.[1]

At the end of the 1859 English cricket season, Lockyer was one of the 12 players who took part in cricket's first-ever overseas tour when an English cricket team led by George Parr visited North America. He was also a member of Parr's team that toured Australia and New Zealand in 1863–64. During this trip the team sailed on the SS Great Britain.[2]
