Sir Thomas Hinton III (c. 1574 – 1 February 1635) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons twice between 1621 and 1625.

Hinton was of Wiltshire. He matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford on 15 October 1591, aged 17. He was probably knighted on 1 July 1619. In 1621, he was elected Member of Parliament for Downton. He was elected MP for Ludgershall in 1625.

    ... Much light has been thrown on the Hinton genealogy in the last decade and a half. Mr. Wharton Dickinson, of New York, one of the finest authorities on English genealogy in this county, has authentically traced the line back to the Norman Conquest. "Earlscott" and "Chilton Foliot" were seats of this family in the County Wilts, England. One of the first of this name to appear in American records was that of Sir Thomas Hinton, knight; it is claimed that he visited the colony of Virginia, which is quite probable, as he was a member of the London Company. He was the first Gentleman of the Bedchamber to James I. of England and Privy Councilor to Charles I. The father of Sir Thomas was Anthony Hinton, Gentleman, born 1532, died 7 May, 1598, who married Martha, daughter of Sir Giles and Lady Estcort. ...

    ... Sir Thomas Hinton was born 1574, died 1 February, 1635. By his first wife, Catherine Palmer, he had five sons and two daughters, four of whom married and left issue, viz/: Sir Anthony married Mary Gresham; Sir William married Mary Popham; Sir John (born July 10, 1603, died October 10, 1682) married Catrina Vander Ruckle; Mary married Captain Samuel Mathews3 afterwards governor of Virginia, and is the ancestress of the Witherspoons of Kentucky. ...

    3 Fiske, in "Old Virginia and Her Neighbors" gives this picture of the home of the "worthy Capt. Mathews: "He hath a fine house, and all things answerable to it; ... he married the daughter of Sir Thomas Hinton, ..." ...

    [cos1776 Note: the information above attributed to Fiske was actually published much earlier in 1649 (see Capt. Samuel Mathews) and varies slightly in text. Also, the "daughter of Sir Thomas Hinton" does not specify which daughter, therefore evidence of it being Mary is not necessarily supported. See Family of Samuel Mathews and Mary Hinton for more info.]
