Sir Thomas Wodehouse, 2nd Baronet (c. 1585 – 18 March 1658), was an English baronet and Member of Parliament.

Wodehouse was the son of Sir Philip Wodehouse, 1st Baronet, of Kimberley, Norfolk, and his wife Grizell Yelverton, daughter of William Yelverton.[1][2] He was Member of Parliament for Thetford from 1640 to 1653,[3] and served as High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1624.[4]
