Thomas Dudley (12 October 1576 – 31 July 1653) was a New England colonial magistrate who served several terms as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Dudley was the chief founder of Newtowne, later Cambridge, Massachusetts, and built the town's first home.
He provided land and funds to establish the Roxbury Latin School, and signed Harvard College's new charter during his 1650 term as governor.
Dudley was a devout Puritan who was opposed to religious views not conforming with his.
In this he was more rigid than other early Massachusetts leaders like John Winthrop, but less confrontational than John Endecott.
