Thomas Baddeley (2 November 1874 – 24 September 1946) was an England international footballer who played as a goalkeeper. In his playing career, Baddeley made over 350 league appearances, and also earned five caps. After starting his career in the Football League with Burslem Port Vale, he spent 1896 to 1907 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and then ended his career with spells at Bradford Park Avenue and Stoke. His brothers, Amos, George, and Sam were all professional footballers.
Baddeley began his professional career with Burslem Port Vale in 1893 after joining the club from local non-league football. He played two Second Division games in the 1893–94 season, as Joe Frail and Hugh Mackay shared the number one jersey. Baddeley then established himself between the sticks to become an ever-present at the Athletic Ground during the 1894–95 and 1895–96 seasons. However he was suspended by the club in August 1896 after signing professional forms with another club, and was sold on to Wolverhampton Wanderers in October 1896 for £50.
