Thomas Tickell, (December 17, 1685 – April 23, 1740), was an English poet and man of letters.
Tickell's success in literature, as in life, was largely due to the friendship of Joseph Addison, who procured for him (1717) an under-secretaryship of state, to the chagrin of Richard Steele, who from then on bore a grudge against Tickell.
In 1724 Tickell was appointed secretary to the lords justices of Ireland a post which he retained until his death, at Bath.
