Thomas Bridges (c. 1710 – 1775 or later) was an English writer of parodies, drama and one novel.
He became a wine merchant and a partner in a banking firm.
In 1762 he published, under the pseudonym Caustic Barebones, A Travestie of Homer, a parody or burlesque translation of Homer's Iliad.
The work achieved some popularity, and was reprinted several times, the last in 1797.
In 1765 he wrote The Battle of the Genii, a burlesque of John Milton's Paradise Lost, which was once attributed to Francis Grose.
