Sir Thomas Tyldesley was a supporter of Charles I and a Royalist commander during the English Civil War.

Tyldesley served King Charles I as Lieutenant Colonel at the Battle of Edgehill, after raising Regiments of Horse, Foot and Dragoons, and of the desperate storming of Burton-on-Trent over a bridge of 36 arches, received the honour of Knighthood. Afterwards he served in all three of the Civil Wars as a commander of some importance. He was Governor of Litchfield and followed the fortune of the Crown through the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and never surrendered to the Parliamentarians. He was killed in action on 25 August 1651 commanding as Major General under the Earl of Derby during the Battle of Wigan Lane.
