Thomas Caldwell Knowles (6 May 1908 – 12 September 1985) was an English international rugby union player.

Biography Born in West Bromwich, Knowles learned his rugby at Ampleforth College, starting out as a fullback.

Knowles developed into a stand-off with his club Birkenhead Park and could also play centre three-quarter. For his solitary England cap, a 1931 Five Nations against Scotland at Murrayfield, Knowles played stand-off. He twice toured overseas with the British Lions, visiting New Zealand and Australia in 1930, then Argentina in 1936. A regular Cheshire representative, Knowles retired as the county's most capped player.
