Thomas Hoo, Baron Hoo and Hastings KG (c. 1396 – 13 February 1455) was a Knight of the Garter and English courtier. William Camden called him vir egregius, literally an "outstanding man". The Barony created in his name had no successors, and he had no male issue, but four daughters by two marriages, three elder half-sisters and a younger half-brother. Having served in military command in Normandy, he was Chancellor of France to King Henry VI of England, assisted in the negotiations for peace with the King of France in 1442–1444, and was in personal attendance on Margaret of Anjou in France during the months preceding her marriage. A servant of the Lancastrian throne, by the death of his friend the Earl of Suffolk in 1450 he lost his distinguished patron, but did not live to see the triumphs of the Yorkist cause in 1455 and 1460.

He was a direct ancestor of Anne Boleyn.
