Thomas Egerton, 1st Viscount Brackley (1540 – 1617) was an English nobleman who served as Member of Parliament for Cheshire.

The illegitimate son of Sir Richard Egerton of Cheshire, he was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford. He was universally known as Lord Chancellor Ellesmere, receiving that title in 1603. He resigned many offices a few weeks before his death and was promised the Earldom of Bridgewater, but did not live to receive it. He had been created Baron Ellesmere on 21 July 1603, and Viscount Brackley on 7 November 1616.
