Thomas Glynn Ridley (20 July 1858 – 30 June 1945) was an English first-class cricketer, barrister and clergyman.

The second son of Thomas Ridley, he was born at Cullercoats in July 1858.[1] He was educated at Uppingham School, before going up to Exeter College, Oxford.[2] Though he did not play first-class cricket for Oxford University while studying there, he did feature in one first-class match for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University at Oxford in 1880.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 32 runs in the Gentlemen of England first-innings by George Robinson, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a single run by the same bowler.[4] He graduated from Oxford in 1883.[2] A student of Lincoln's Inn, he was called to the bar in 1884.[1] He later took holy orders and became a reverend. He died in South Africa at Sea Point, near Cape Town, in June 1945.
