Thomas Charles Howard (19 July 1781 – 18 May 1864) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1803 to 1828. He was mainly associated with Hampshire sides but also played for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), where he was employed as a ground staff bowler. Howard was a right-handed batsman and an occasional wicketkeeper but he was noted as a right arm fast medium bowler, using the underarm style. He made 88 known appearances in first-class cricket and is one of a handful of players who appeared for both teams in the  Gentlemen v Players series. Howard played for the Players in the inaugural and second Gentlemen v Players matches in 1806 and made further appearances for the Players to 1829. He also played for the Gentlemen as a given man in 1820, when his involvement in nine dismissals was a factor in their 70 run victory.
