Thomas Baker (died 4 July 1381) was an English landowner and one of the leaders who initiated the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.
On 30 May, John Brampton attempted to collect the poll tax from villagers at Fobbing.
Robert Belknap, Chief Justice of Common Pleas, was sent to investigate the incident and to punish the offenders.
By this time the violent discontent had spread, and the counties of Essex and Kent were in full revolt.
[1] For his role in the uprising, Thomas Baker was hanged, drawn, and quartered on 4 July 1381 at Chelmsford.
