Sir Thomas Tipping (1614–1 March 1693) was a prominent Parliamentarian during the English Civil War.
Sir Thomas was the eldest son of John Tipping of Wheatfield, Oxfordshire and his wife, Anne daughter of Sir Christopher Pigott of Doddershall in Buckinghamshire. He was baptised in Wheatfield parish church on 10 December 1615, but his father died when he was only four years old. In 1627, Tipping inherited the Wheatfield estate upon the death of his grandfather, Sir George Tipping. Four years later, he matriculated from Trinity College, Oxford at the age of fifteen. He married, in 1637, Elizabeth (1620–1698) youngest daughter and co-heiress of Sir White Beconshaw of Moyles Court at Ellingham, Hampshire, by whom he had five sons and eleven daughters, only eight of whom survived him.
