Sir Thomas Bigg, 1st Baronet (c. 1577 – 11 June 1621), was an English politician.

Biggs was the son of Sir Thomas Bigg, of Lenchwick, Worcestershire, by Ursula Throckmorton, daughter of Clement Throckmorton, of Haseley, Warwickshire. He was educated at Queen's College, Oxford. He represented Evesham in Parliament in 1614 and again in 1621. In 1620 he was created a baronet, of Lenchwick in the County of Worcester.[1] He sold the family estates at Lenchwick and Norton to Lord Craven.[2]
