Thomas Arundell, 2nd Baron Arundell of Wardour (c. 1586 – May 19, 1643), was an English nobleman son of Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Wardour and Lady Mary Wriothesley. On 11 May, 1607, he married Lady Blanche Somerset, daughter of Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester. They had three children:
* Henry Arundell, 3rd Baron Arundell of Wardour (1607–1694), who succeeded him
* Anne Arundell, married Roger Vaughan
* Katherine Arundell, married Francis Cornwallis

He joined the Royalist cause during the English Civil War. He was present at the Royalist victory at the Battle of Stratton (May 16, 1643), but was mortally wounded in the engagement, and died three days later. His residence, Wardour Castle in Wiltshire, whose defense he had been compelled to leave in the hands of his wife, had fallen to the Parliamentarians on May 8, 1643.
