Sir Thomas Gawdy SL (died 5 November 1588) was an English justice and Member of Parliament.

His seat was at Gawdy Hall, Harleston, a grand mansion which, in its final state, was demolished in 1939.

His elder half-brother Thomas Gawdy was created a Serjeant-at-law in 1552 before dying in 1556, whereas his younger brother, Francis, served as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas from August 1605 until December of that year.

A member of the Inner Temple, Thomas was called to the bar in 1550, appointed a reader of his Inn in 1560 and treasurer in 1562.

He was issued a writ to be called as a Serjeant-at-law in October 1558, but it lapsed on the death of Mary I.
