Sir Thomas Puckering (1592–1637) was an English politician.
Thomas was the son of Sir John Puckering, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, who died in May 1596. After 5 years in the household of Prince Henry, who was tutored by Thomas' brother-in-law, Adam Newton, in September 1610 he travelled to Paris, meeting the English ambassador Sir Thomas Edmondes. On his return he was knighted and then, when he was in Florence, made a baronet 25 November 1612.[1]
He was the M.P. for Tamworth from 1621–1622 and 1625–1629 and was a close friend of Henry, Prince of Wales.[2]
He had three daughters by his wife Elizabeth Morley. He died 20 March 1637, survived only by his daughter Jane, and his tomb at St. Mary's Warwick was built by Nicholas Stone.[3] On his death the baronetcy became extinct.
