Thomas Lorkin (c. 1528–1591) was an English churchman, academic and physician, Regius Professor of Physic at Cambridge from 1564.
He matriculated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, 12 November 1549, graduated BA 1551–1552, proceeded MA 1555, and was created MD 1560.
He left by his will some estates in remainder to Pembroke Hall, Queens' College, and Peterhouse, and his books on physic to the university library.
He had subscribed when young to the Roman Catholic articles, and in later years opposed Puritan preaching in the university.
