Thomas Devyr (1844 – January 22, 1896) was an American baseball player who played shortstop for the Brooklyn Eckfords during their team's championship seasons of 1862 and 1863. Later, in 1867, he confessed, along with two other New York Mutuals team members, to accepting money in a scheme to lose a game against his former club, the Eckfords, in 1865. The incident is considered baseball's first gambling scandal, and all three players were banished from playing competitively. The Mutuals reinstated Devyr in 1867 after his banishment, and went on to play several more seasons, his last in 1870 with the Eckfords.
