Nick Thornicroft (born January 23, 1985) is an English cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who has most recently played for Yorkshire.
Thornicroft made his debut for Yorkshire Cricket Board in 2001, in the C&G Trophy.

Thornicroft held the lowest first-class average of the Yorkshire team in the games he played in the season.
Thornicroft appeared in only one first-class match during the following season, though he played in several Youth One-Day internationals and Tests during calendar year 2003, during an English tour of Australia, before coming back home and playing two Tests against South Africa in 2003. Thornicroft spent 2004 and 2005 playing very little first-class cricket, though he continued in a consistent vein of form for Essex's Second XI.
During the 2006 season, Thornicroft played no first-class matches, sticking instead to the Second XI. Thornicroft has three Youth Test matches and five Youth One-day Internationals under his belt, appearing in his first international fixture in August 2002. Thornicroft is a lower-order batsman for the Second XI, and plays in the tailend for the first team.
