Sir Thomas Monson, 1st Baronet (1565–29 May 1641) was an English politician and supporter of King James I. He served as a Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire (1597 –1598), Castle Rising (1604–1611), and finally Cricklade in 1614. He was created a hereditary baronet in 1611, one of the first in the Baronetage of England. Monson held a position of trust at the Tower of London, a circumstance which led to his arrest as one of the participators in the 1613 murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. He was, however, soon released.
