Francis Martin Tomkinson DSO & Bar (21 October 1883 – 24 November 1963) was an English cricketer who played one first-class cricket match, for Worcestershire against Hampshire in 1902. He made a duck in his only innings, but did take one catch, to dismiss Arthur Webb off the bowling of George Alfred Wilson.

He served with the Worcestershire Regiment in World War I and was awarded a DSO and Bar in 1917.[1]

He was a member of the well-known Kidderminster carpet-making family.

Tomkinson was born at Franche Hall, Kidderminster, Worcestershire; he died at Chilton, Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire at the age of 80.

His brother Geoffrey played twice for Worcestershire.
