Dr Thomas Rotherham (1423 - 1500) was an English cleric and minister. He was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal in 1467, created Bishop of Rochester 1468, moved to the Bishopric of Lincoln in 1472, and then Archbishop of York from 1480. He was Lord Chancellor from 1474 to 1483.
He is remembered as the second founder of Lincoln College, Oxford which, without his generosity, would probably not have survived the fifteenth century.
