Tom Baxter (born 29 October, 1973) is a singer-songwriter based in London. Born in Cornwall, he grew up in Suffolk, with both parents regulars on the folk music circuit. After moving to London at age 19 to attend music college, he spent many years on the gig circuit before a successful residency at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush brought him to the attention of record labels.

A self-titled EP was released in May 2004 containing the tracks "Joanna", "Half a Man" and "My Declaration". The latter song was to become the second single from his debut album "Feather and Stone", following the single "This Boy". "Feather and Stone" was released by Sony International in October 2004 to critical acclaim, and was a regular feature on Radio 2's playlist. It was followed by a headlining UK tour.

Tom Baxter supported Nerina Pallot on her UK tour in January 2007. After splitting with Sony in 2007, he recorded his second album "Skybound" independently; it was released on the revived Charisma label through EMI on 7 January 2008. The first single released off the "Skybound" album was the song "Better", which was released in January 2008. His song "Miracle" from Skybound was used in its entirety by the BBC as the outro of their Olympics coverage.

In 2008 Baxter contributed the song "Make a Stand" to the Survival International charity album "Songs for Survival".
