Thomas Lawford Rolph (13 February 1840 – 5 September 1876) was a Canadian-born lawyer and a cricketer who played in a single first-class cricket match for Cambridge University in 1860. He was born in Dundas County, Ontario, Canada, and died at Gloucester in England.
The elder son of the Canadian politician George Rolph, Thomas Rolph was educated in England at Cheltenham College and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He played cricket as a middle-order batsman for his school, but when selected for a single match for Cambridge University against the Cambridge Town Club he failed to score in either innings and was not picked again. He played a few minor cricket matches for amateur sides both during his time at Cambridge and afterwards, but played no more first-class cricket.
Rolph graduated from Cambridge University in 1863 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He became a solicitor and was part of the London firm of Renshaw and Rolph, with offices in Cannon Street.
