Thomas Henry Nixon (24 April 1843 – 23 January 1907) was an English first-class cricketer and umpire.

The son of the cricketer Thomas Nixon senior, he was born in April 1843 at Sneinton, Nottinghamshire.[1] Nixon was engaged on the staff at Lord's, playing first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club. He played one first-class match for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1862 against Middlesex, in addition to playing a second first-class match for the Professionals of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club in 1867.[2] He scored 15 runs across his two matches,[3] in addition to taking 4 wickets with his right-arm slow-medium bowling.[4] While engaged on the staff as Lord's, Nixon also stood as an umpire in seventeen first-class matches between 1862 and 1882.[5] Nixon died at Hillingdon in January 1907. His son, Harry, also played first-class cricket.
