Sir Thomas Marchington (died c.1397) was an English MP for Derbyshire.
Thomas was a descendant of the Norman Montgomery family who were sub-lieutenants of Earl Ferrer, Earl of Derby, whose chief domain was Tutbury Castle, on the county border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire from 1080 and 1264. This junior Montgomery branch originates from the Welsh borders branch of Montgomery, who arrived with Duke William in 1066. The Derbyshire Montgomerys held manors around the Tutbury area being; Rolleston, Marston, Cubley, and Marchington and were charged with Forest administration services for the vast Needwood Forest which was overseen by the Ferrers Earls of Derby as a royal forest. They also provided Knight services. Thomas Marchington's family line seems to have died out as no direct trace can be found.
