Thomas Postlethwaite (1731–May 4 1798 Bath) was the son of Richard Postlethwaite of Crosslands, Lancashire.

It is believed that Thomas gave the Barnaby lecture in Mathematics in 1758. However, he certainly became the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge from 1789 to 1798. He died at Bath on May 4, 1798, and is buried in the Bath Abbey church.
