Sir Thomas Whitmore (21 December 1711 – 1773) of Apley, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, was a British Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1734 to 1754.
[1] At the 1734 British general election, Whitmore was returned on the family interest as Member of Parliament for Bridgnorth soon after coming of age.
In Parliament, he spoke against a place bill in 1735, and voted against the Spanish convention in 1739, having been persuaded by the Prince of Wales who was in the House canvassing the Members.
In 1748 he applied unsuccessfully to the Duke of Newcastle with the support of other Shropshire Whigs including Lord Powis, for the office of governor of North Carolina for his younger brother George Whitmore.
In 1754, Whitmore succeeded his cousin Catherine Pope to her property and he retired from Parliament at the 1754 British general election.
