Thomas Hussey (1597 - December 1657) was an English merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1645 and 1657.

Hussey was a citizen of London and a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers. He became an alderman of the City of London for Vintry ward on 17 Jul 1645.[1] He purchased a lease of Hungerford Park from John Herbert.[2]

In 1645, Hussey was elected Member of Parliament for Whitchurch in the Long Parliament and remained until 1653.[3] In 1650 he purchased a part of Kintbury from Henry Marten.[4] In 1656 he was elected MP for Andover in the Second Protectorate Parliament.[3]
