Thomas Wyatt Hale (21 April 1829 – 17 May 1899) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of John Hale, he was born in East Grinstead in April 1829. He was educated at Rugby School,[1] before going up to St John's College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1851. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1852, making four further appearances. His final first-class appearance came for the Gentlemen of England against a United England Eleven at Hove in 1853.[3] In his six first-class matches, Hale scored 86 runs with a high score of 27.[4] After graduating from Oxford, Hale enlisted in the Oxfordshire Militia as a lieutenant in April 1854.[5] He died at Uxbridge in May 1899. His brother, John, also played first-class cricket.
