Thomas Robert McKibbin (10 December 1870 in Bathurst, New South Wales – 15 December 1939 in Bathurst, New South Wales) was an Australian cricketer who played in five Tests from 1895 to 1898. A right-arm bowler who imparted tremendous spin to the ball, McKibbin sometimes had his action questioned, but he was never called for throwing.
He took 101 wickets at an average of 14.26 on the Australians' tour of England in 1896.
In 1896-97 he set a record for the Sheffield Shield when he took 44 wickets in the season, a figure which stood until 1934-35, when Chuck Fleetwood-Smith took 62 wickets.
