Thomas May (1595 – 1650) was an English poet, dramatist and historian of the Renaissance era.

The eldest son of Thomas May of Mayfield, Sussex, Thomas May attended Cambridge as a fellow-commoner (B.A. 1613) and was admitted to Gray’s Inn in 1615. He was Secretary for the Parliament (1646-50). A distinguished translator, May was an unsuccessful candidate to succeed Ben Jonson as Poet Laureate; in the event he cast his lot with Parliament against the crown.
