Thomas Richard Hardman (3 December 1990 – 28 November 2012) was an English cricketer. Hardman was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium-fast. He was born in Bury, Greater Manchester and was educated at St Joseph's RC High School, Heywood and Holy Cross College, Bury.[1]

Following a back injury which required him to be placed in a brace for three months in 2010,[2] he began playing Second XI cricket for the Lancashire Second XI.[2] While studying Sports and Exercise Sciences at Leeds Metropolitan University,[1] Hardman made two first-class appearances for Leeds/Bradford MCCU in 2012 against Surrey at The Oval and Yorkshire at Headingley.[3] He scored a total of 65 runs in his two matches,[4] with a high score of 44 against Yorkshire. With the ball, he took 3 wickets at an average of 59.66, with best figures of 2/51.[5] He also played a number of Second XI matches for Leeds/Bradford MCCU during the 2012 season.

Hardman was found dead in his house in Leeds, Yorkshire, on 28 November 2012. He had earlier been named as the Leeds/Bradford MCCU captain for the 2013 season.[2]
