Thomas Bainbrigg (Bainbridge) (died 1646) was an English college head.
[3] He was Master in John Milton's student days at Christ's.
Bainbrigg was not a strong partisan on religious issues, but supported George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham in his contest with Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Berkshire in 1627 for the position of Chancellor.
[1] A funeral sermon by Bainbrigg, on 16 October 1620, had an awakening effect on Thomas Goodwin, who was to become an important Puritan figure.
Student numbers climbed, and the Civil War times had little adverse effect, with Bainbrigg, known not to be against the Puritans, left in place.
