Thomas Nabbes (1605 – buried 6 April 1641) was an English dramatist.

He was born in humble circumstances in Worcestershire, was educated at as a King's scholar at the King's School, Worcester (1616–1620),[1] and entered Exeter College, Oxford in 1621.[2] He left the university without taking a degree, and in about 1630 began a career in London as a dramatist. He was employed at some point in the household of a nobleman near Worcester, and seems to have been of a convivial disposition.[3] He had at least two children, Bridget and William, both of whom died within two years of his death, and were buried with him at St Giles in the Fields.[4]
