Sir Thomas Lawrence was the royal governor of the Maryland colony in 1693, elected by the Governor's council following the death of Lionel Copley. He governed the colony for only a few weeks before the new royally appointed governor, Edmund Andros, arrived to take over control of the colony. He was briefly governor a second time when Andros left the colony in 1694.
