Sir Thomas Edmonds (1563 – 20 September 1639) was a diplomat and politician. Edmonds was the fifth son of another Thomas Edmonds, who was the Customer of the ports of Plymouth and Fowey, and of Joan daughter of Anthony Delbere of Sherborne in Dorset. He is said to have been introduced at court by another namesake, Sir Thomas Edmonds, Comptroller of the household to Queen Elizabeth, where he received the rudiments of a political education from Sir Francis Walsingham.
