Thomas Ledgerwood (15 February 1923 – 13 February 2006) was a professional footballer who played for Partick Thistle and Greenock Morton in the Scottish Football League.[3][4][5]

He made a total of 338 appearances for Partick in all competitions and scored one goal[6] – after being injured against Heart of Midlothian and placed on the wing he soon scored a goal to halve a 3–1 deficit, with his team going on to win 5–4.[3] He won the Glasgow Cup on two occasions[7][8] and appeared in three Scottish League Cup finals, but finished on the losing side each time.[9][10][11]

At representative level, Ledgerwood was selected once each for the Scottish Football League XI[2] and the Scotland B team,[1] both in 1952.[12]
