Thomas Edward Crowther KC (born May 1970) is a practising British barrister who served as a Circuit Judge from 2013 to 2018.
Following his return to practice, Crowther joined Serjeants' Inn Chambers, London, in February 2019.
In June 2019, he was appointed as Chair of the Independent Inquiry into Telford Child Sexual Exploitation.
During proceedings at Cardiff Crown Court on 7 and 8 April 2014 Crowther directed that no member of the public could make notes of the proceedings without his permission and twice ruled that the claimant in the case in question could not make notes.
On spotting someone taking notes in the public gallery Crowther stated: When a judicial review of Crowther's rulings were considered at the High Court a judge there ruled "those who attend public court hearings should be free to make notes of what occurs".
