Thomas Lowten Jenkins (1812-1869) was an English barrister and rower who twice won the Wingfield Sculls, the amateur championship of the River Thames.

Jenkins was called to bar at Inner Temple in 1837.[1] He joined Leander Club and in 1839 competed in the Wingfield Sculls when he lost to Henry Chapman. However he won in a rowover in 1840 when Chapman was unable to compete for health reasons.[2] Also in 1840 he rowed number 5 in the Leander eight which won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. He won the Wingfield Sculls again in 1841. In 1847 he umpired the Boat Race.[3]

Jenkins then went to India in the legal service and became Master in Equity in the Supreme Court until the end of 1858.[4] Back in England he lived at Wraxall House Somerset[5] and in 1860 became a member of council for Clifton School.[6]

Jenkins died in London at the age of 57.

Jenkins married Emily Feliza Vaughan, youngest daughter of Charles Vaughan of Clifton Gloucestershire in Bombay on 16 June 1849.[7]
