Thomas Cartwright (1535?–1603) was a leader of the Puritan party in England under Elizabeth I. He attended Cambridge University and was appointed professor there in 1569. He lost the position in 1570 when he criticized the Church of England for being unscriptural. After this he left Cambridge for Geneva where Theodore Beza had succeeded John Calvin as the Reformation leader. He pastored an English church in Antwerp for 10 years. On his return to England, he was imprisoned for two years, where his health declined.
