Thomas M'Crie (earlier spellings include McCree and Maccrie) (7 November 1797–9 May 1875) was a Presbyterian minister and church historian.

He was born at 5 Buccleuch Street[4] in Edinburgh, on 7 November 1797, the eldest son of Thomas McCrie, by his first wife.

[6] Fellow students included John Duncan, and Robert Shaw who wrote a commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith.

In October of same year demitted his charge, and removed to London, to succeed Professor Hugh Campbell in the Theological College of English Presbyterian Church.

[13] Owing to ophthalmia he resigned his chair, and returned to Scotland in 1866, and the rank of Emeritus Professor, and a retiring allowance to the close of his life, were voted him by the English Synod.

He retired to Gullane in East Lothian due to failing eyesight, but retained an Edinburgh property.

[11][10] He is buried in the western extension to Greyfriars Kirkyard but has a separate stone, set high on the Flodden Wall facing his father's monument, not far from the spot where the National Covenant was subscribed in 1638.
