Garter-encircled Arms of Sir Thomas Wale, KG, viz: "Argent a cross Sable."

Sir Thomas Wale (1303 – 26 October 1352) was an English soldier and a founder member Knight of the Garter.

He was born, probably in Weedon Pinkney, Northamptonshire, to Sir Thomas Wale and his wife Lucy, Lady of the Manor of Weedon Pinkney. His father died in or shortly before 1315, after which his mother successfully fought a lawsuit with her cousin Edmund Pinkney for possession of the family estates. She died in 1343.

He died in Gascony in 1352. He had married Nichola but left no children. Most of his estates, which included Litchborough, passed to his nephew Sir Peter Mallore, son of his sister Margaret, who had married into another prominent Northamptonshire family. Peter sat in the English House of Commons, was High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1351 and served in the late 1350s as a judge in Ireland.
