Thomas Kingston Kendall (24 August 1851 – 17 August 1924[1]) was an Australian cricketer, who played in two Test matches in 1877, including the inaugural Test which was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 1877.

Kendall was a lower-order left-handed batsman and a slow-to-medium pace left-arm bowler.

It was Kendall's bowling that induced the first Test match stumping, when he dismissed Alfred Shaw, via Jack Blackham's wicketkeeping.

It is not clear why he was omitted from the subsequent Australian team to tour England in 1878, a tour he was available for: he took part in some preliminary matches before the team was selected, although, according to Spofforth, Kendall gained a considerable amount of weight, which may have worked against him.

[4] Kendall played in Melbourne club cricket for Richmond, and represented Victoria once.
